reward for vaxed
staff members
BY BEN BRACHFELD
The Barclays Center will
reward its employees with up
to $25,000 in prizes if they decide
to get vaccinated.
John Abbamondi, CEO of
the Barclays Center and the
Brooklyn Nets, said Monday
that vaccinated employees at
Barclays will receive one entry
in a raffl e for each shift
they work or are “available”
to work between Sept. 13,
when the city’s vaccination
mandate for facilities such as
sports arenas takes effect, and
Dec. 31. A grand prize winner,
who can be either a new or
existing employee, will be selected
on New Year’s Eve.

While all employees and
customers at Barclays will be
required to show proof of at
least one vaccine dose starting
Sept. 13, the sweepstakes
is intended to incentivize getting
the jab proactively, Abbamondi
said.
“We encourage all of our
employees to get vaccinated, we
encourage others who are vaccinated
to apply,” Abbamondi
said at Mayor Bill de Blasio’s
daily press briefi ng Monday
morning. “We hope to keep you
all safe, and we know the vaccines
are key to doing that.”
“That’s a damn good prize,
let me tell you,” Hizzoner said
in response.
