ORLANDO, FL, UNITED STATES, May 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Orlando Magic and Frank Gay Services continue to make a meaningful impact throughout Central Florida through their community-focused partnership and the ongoing success of the Free Throw and Saves program, which supports local families and nonprofit organizations across the region.

Since partnering in 2022, the Orlando Magic and Frank Gay Services have prioritized community impact through the Free Throw and Saves initiative. For every free throw made during Magic home games throughout the regular season, Frank Gay Services donated $10 to the Orlando Magic Youth Foundation (OMYF). Through this season’s campaign, Frank Gay Services donated a total of $20,000 to OMYF.

“For the fourth year, the Magic have joined Frank Gay in meaningful community initiatives that positively impact local families and organizations throughout Central Florida,” said Orlando Magic Senior Vice President of Global Partnerships J.T. McWalters. “The Free Throw and Saves program reflects our shared commitment to giving back to the community and creating opportunities to support those who need it most.”

Over the last four years, Frank Gay Services has contributed more than $65,000 to local nonprofits through the Free Throw and Saves program, reinforcing a shared commitment to supporting youth and families throughout Central Florida.

“At Frank Gay Services, our mission is to care for our community by supporting families in need,” said Frank Gay Services Market Area President Chris Tuttle. “Through our Free Throw and Saves program, we’re able to connect the excitement of Orlando Magic basketball with meaningful community impact. We’re proud to support the Orlando Magic Youth Foundation and help provide resources that benefit families across Central Florida.”

The Orlando Magic Youth Foundation is committed to helping children in Central Florida realize their full potential, especially those most at risk, by supporting nonprofit organizations focused on education, housing and homelessness, the arts and health programs aimed at preventing childhood obesity.

As part of the partnership’s ongoing community efforts, the Orlando Magic and Frank Gay Services also recently provided one local family a brand-new HVAC system (photo/video link above), helping provide comfort and stability to a family supported by RISE Community Solutions. The family was also presented tickets to an Orlando Magic game.

The family’s home is owned by RISE Community Solutions, which has supported more than 1,300 families experiencing homelessness through its Pathways to Home program. Pathways to Home is one of the only Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) program in Central Florida specifically for families with children, with 100 percent of graduates remaining permanently housed five years later.

The home receiving the new HVAC unit is one of five single-family PSH residences in Winter Springs, where a reliable HVAC system is critical as the family manages significant medical and life challenges.

“It means a lot,” said RISE Community Solutions Program Director Kelvin Coachman. “Frank Gay Services is an amazing company and seeing them give back to our community and support participants in our programs is truly heartwarming.”
