New Partnership: The Produce Box

The Raleigh Firebirds community health initiative is proud to announce a new partnership with The Produce Box to bring fresh, locally sourced fruits and vegetables directly to fans and neighbors while supporting our health programs. This collaboration makes it easier than ever to eat well with convenient home delivery, seasonal produce boxes, and curated selections designed for simple, nutritious meals.

Fans who order through The Produce Box partnership will enjoy better access to healthy food, recipe inspiration, and opportunities to learn about nutrition—while a portion of each purchase will be donated to support the Firebirds’ community health initiatives, including nutrition education, healthy cooking demos, and youth wellness programs.

Starting on October 15th, you can support the Firebirds while eating healthy by signing up at The Produce Box and apply code FIREBIRDS at checkout to get $25 off your first order of $50 or more. Then, share your meals on social media and encourage friends and family to join in. Together we’ll build healthier habits and stronger communities—one box at a time.

Take advantage of this deal before it expires on November 1st!

Great Meeting with Chris Wilcox!

What a great meeting with former NBA pro Chris Wilcox discussing ways pro sports can really impact a community. He has done great work on and off of the court and we’re excited about where this partnership will lead. Stay tuned!

The Raleigh Firebirds: Best Logo in the TBL

There’s no logo in the TBL that captures grit, energy, and rebirth like the Raleigh Firebirds’ signature mark — THE FIREBIRD. Bold, dynamic and instantly recognizable, the Firebird logo blends fierce motion with bright, warming colors to symbolize speed, passion and an unbreakable competitive spirit.

The Firebird itself is a perfect metaphor for this team. In myth, the firebird rises from the flames renewed and unstoppable; the Raleigh Firebirds display that same resilience on the court. Their style of play — fast, determined, and team-first — mirrors the bird’s flight: explosive drives, soaring offense, and a defense that ignites momentum. Off the court, the organization’s commitment to community, development, and hometown pride reflects the Firebird’s role as a symbol of renewal and hope for fans across Raleigh.

Calling all longtime supporters and newcomers: get ready for an electric 2026 season. Come feel the heat, join the chants, and make the stands a home-court inferno. All Firebirds games in 2026 will be played at St. Augustine’s University, 1315 Oakwood Ave, Raleigh, NC. Please enter on the States Street Entrance — Gate #6. Bring friends, bring family, and help carry the Firebird’s flame through every game.

Rise with us. Go Firebirds!
