In celebration of Juneteenth, B.A.S.E.D. In Sports, an Employee Resource Group (ERG) within the Las Vegas Raiders organization hosted a "Family Reunion" on the indoor practice fields at Raiders Headquarters, Intermountain Health Performance Center.
The event also served as an opportunity to acknowledge the importance of celebrating diversity and fostering an inclusive workplace. In addition, the "Family Reunion" allowed Black-owned local businesses including Servin 702 Shaved Ice, We in the Kitchen, Craving Creole, Braud Funnel Cake, Simply Puree to showcase their respective cuisines and offerings. Other showcase vendors included Our Reflection – Toothbrush Co., Vibes DIY Studio, Tofu Tees, The Blade Barbershop, Pieces of Luv Candle Co., and Urban Chamber.

B.A.S.E.D In Sports' mission is to support diversity among Black employees and create an inclusive culture for employees at every level. Through engagement, B.A.S.E.D In Sports seeks opportunities to connect, develop, and support Black talent within the organization and the Las Vegas community.
B.A.S.E.D., which stands for Black And Silver Efforts In Diversity, is one of several ERGs in place at the Raiders. In May, the Silver and Black celebrated Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month with a similar event.
The Raiders were built seven decades ago on the foundation of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion and the formulation of these internal groups are part of that longstanding and ongoing commitment.
