Like a Good Neighbor, State Farm’s Red Nets Revamps Local Communities
Partnering with sporting legends and influencers, the State Farm Red Nets Program restores energy to parks with iconic State Farm red-colored nets.
Who?
State Farm linked up with famed BMX athlete Nigel Sylvester to kick off their Red Nets initiative for 2025. Born and raised in Queens, New York, Sylvester championed the Good Neighbor by installing a brand new State Farm red net in Yonkers, New York. Surrounded by his fellow neighbors, Sylvester and State Farm took the time to celebrate and honor the importance of community spaces like basketball courts. The partnership is seemingly natural, as Sylvester credits these community spaces with shaping his mentality as a star BMX athlete.
Where?
What starts in New York takes the nation by storm. You can sign up for your local park to be considered for the Red Nets initiative by visiting their website below.

Alyson Griffen, State Farm’s Head of Marketing, encourages you to help them achieve their goal of seeing “Red Nets at basketball courts across the country!”
Why?
Basketball courts are fundamental to community spaces. Not just in New York but around the world, sports provide a safe space for you and your neighbors to gather, exercise, and build foundational relationships. However, many courts and facilities get left behind. State Farm aims to prevent such an issue. With their Red Nets initiative, be on the lookout for revitalized courts with our eye-catching red nets. Let State Farm be there as your Good Neighbor. They will take care of the nets so you can get back to what matters: playing basketball!

How State Farm Is Reigniting Local Basketball Courts
The Problem
Courts are deteriorating.
But State Farm is here to bridge the gap. When courts are left behind, communities lose more than a place to play – they lose connection. When once-busy courts sit empty because of a lack of equipment, such as nets, communities can’t engage with the spaces they once loved. What happens when neighbors can’t gather for a game of pick-up because of cracked courts, rusting rims, or more? Neighbors, like you, are left with no connection point, no sanctuary for play.
Where Red Nets Comes In
But State Farm is here to help.
Working with BMX athlete Nigel Sylvester to kick off their Red Nets initiative for 2025, State Farm is dedicated to improving these community spaces.
For Sylvester, the moment was personal. He credits neighborhood courts with shaping his mentality long before his rise in BMX.
