Northwest Sports & Entertainment Inc. in association with Gonzaga University and Dan Dickau are proud to announce that the Phoenix Suns Gorilla will be appearing at this year’s Toyota Dan Dickau Charity Classic. This is the second summer classic that includes current NBA players alongside former Gonzaga alum playing together in an event to raise money for Spokane area charities.
Go, as he is called by his fans, is the head mascot for the Phoenix Suns and has become one of the most well known mascots in all of professional sports. Go was a member of the inaugural induction class of the Mascot Hall of Fame. He will be performing throughout the entire charity event.
He’s the leading beast of the mascot jungle, a furry frequent flier who wows the crowds with his dunking prowess. The Phoenix Suns Gorilla, the dean of NBA mascots, has been entertaining Suns fans since 1980 and is now a worldwide ambassador for the Suns and the NBA.
In addition to attending all Phoenix Suns home games, his list of appearances include visits to Argentina, Australia, Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom – not to mention the various trips around the United States for sports events ranging from basketball to baseball to hockey.
