Crown Royal And Jimmy Butler Make Great Teammates
Last week, Crown Royal Regal Apple teamed up with four-time NBA All Star Jimmy Butler Miami native and multimedia artist D’ana of COVL to unveil THE ROYAL COURT in Miami during Art Week.
Through The Royal Court, which was designed by D’ana of COVL, Crown Royal Regal Apple refurbished a beloved neighborhood basketball court in Miami and turned it into a remarkable piece of art that the whole community will enjoy. In addition to refurbishing Southside Park basketball court, there were merch giveaways and activations that bridge together the intersections of art, culture, and basketball while inspiring a fresh new wave of creativity and inspiration for Miami’s residents.
Crown Royal Regal Apple and Jimmy Butler were natural partners, both with a deep respect for crisp culture, creativity, and creators. Neither ascribes to the typical stereotypes of what athletes or whiskey brands should be, and instead brought to life a shared vision of inclusion that gives back to the city of Miami.
While other brands come to Miami Art Week for one weekend, Crown Royal Regal Apple wanted to partner with Jimmy Butler to focus attention on creating experiences, products and opportunities that continue to give back to Miami’s New Royalty – artists, athletes, creators and leaders – and Miami at-large long after the weekend ends.

Crown Royal Needs You To Help Out Our Military
I really love how Crown Royal look to help out our men and women in the military. Last year, Crown Royal expanded their generosity efforts and launched The Crown Royal Purple Bag Project with country music superstar Thomas Rhett, an effort to pack 1 million care packages by the end of 2020 for active-duty service members serving overseas.
Crown Royal was back this year at The 53rd Annual CMA Awards with Thomas Rhett to give Veteran and singer-songwriter Jerri the surprise of a lifetime. Jerri thought she was in Nashville to help support The Crown Royal Purple Bag Project, but little did she know that the brand and Thomas Rhett had more plans in store: an invite to country music’s biggest night! Jerri also took the stage last night with co-host Reba to encourage fans 21+ to help Crown Royal reach its 1 million packed bag goal.
You can support The Crown Royal Purple Bag Project as we head into the most generous time of the year. Fans 21+ can text PURPLEBAG to 50155 and follow Crown Royal on Twitter for more details.
