Debbie Antonelli is a mom of three boys, a college basketball analyst for ESPN and CBS, and an advocate for Special Olympics. Drawing inspiration from her middle son Frankie, a Special Olympic Athlete, she created a 24 hour free throw shooting marathon. Debbie makes 100 free throws every hour for 24 hours. At the end of 24 hours, she will have made 2,400 free throws.
Over the past six years, “Team Antonelli” has raised over $1,085,000 for Special Olympics! Debbie’s free throw shooting average is 94%!
May 10-11, 2025 is the 7th year of 24 Hours Nothing But Net. In year 6 (2024) of our event, we raised over $1 MILLION DOLLARS and made 14,400 free throws! Every dollar supports Special Olympic Athletes! Please donate and help our athletes train, compete and socialize. One penny for every free throw is a $24 donation.
Watch the entire 24 hour marathon live on YouTube, X and Facebook from the driveway of "Team Antonelli” and be entertained by special guests including coaches, athletes, actors and entertainers!
