At Wednesday’s game, the Hawks will light up the venue’s iconic ATLANTA letters at the award-winning State Farm Arena in a green hue to celebrate Earth Month as a reminder that State Farm Arena is committed to diverting more than 90 percent of all waste from landfills after each event. The Hawks and State Farm Arena are also set to recognize 10 fans on the court at halftime in attendance through its special activation in partnership with Novelis called Recycle and Win. This activation is a surprise-and-delight engagement with fans who are seen in the act of correctly recycling while attending the venue. In addition, 100 fans will also receive a limited-edition token as part of Recycle and Win. To date, more than 700 fans have been recognized and have received Hawks swag and seat upgrades at concerts as a reward for practicing sustainability.

“Our organization continues to innovate and lead the way when it comes to practicing sustainability,” said Hawks and State Farm Arena Head of Sustainability Sofi Armenakian.
