The Mini Docu-Series

Presented by Norman Capital

A docu-style content series by Mironko Productions & Kirch Films — both Arlington locals — follows Pat Connaughton and Miles Robinson, two athletes from different sports united by a shared belief in access to play.

Their stories are woven together with youth voices, the Design FC process, and the court build to show how access brings people and passions together.

The series is designed to travel beyond Arlington, offering a model for how communities across the country can rally around access, creativity, and collective effort.

Purchase the Community Kit

All profits from jersey sales support the 2027 indoor court renovation, ensuring the Boys & Girls Club continues to provide safe, inspiring spaces for youth to play. Our goal is to sell 500 jerseys, generating roughly $15,000 for the Club.

Community Launch Event — May 17

Presented by Norman Capital

The community launch marks the opening of the court and the culmination of the story. Youth, families, athletes, artists, and partners come together for a day of play, creativity, and celebration.

  • Community basketball + soccer games
  • Branded jersey & kit distribution
  • Full-circle storytelling moment for the content series
  • High-impact content capture and earned media

Social Reach

This campaign is powered by a high-value mix of athlete platforms, creator storytelling, and a national nonprofit network. The story is positioned to travel far beyond the court through both social and earned media.

Plus the Boys & Girls Club national nonprofit network, local Boston / Arlington media outlets, national sports and culture press, and partner brand channels.

Partners & Contributors

The court renovation itself is fully led and funded by Pat Connaughton and Miles Robinson through their respective foundations. The opportunity for partners is to help tell the story — supporting a unique collaboration between two professional athletes from different sports and a community of artists, designers, filmmakers, and youth united around the project.
