Alan Horwitz, aka The Philadelphia 76ers ‘Sixth Man’, is the Founder and Chairman of Campus Apartments, one of the nation’s largest providers of student housing in the country, with over $1.5 billion in assets under management.

Horwitz’s passion for business is matched only by his love for basketball. He is one of the most recognized NBA Superfans and has been nicknamed the “Sixth Man” of the Philadelphia 76ers.

This vision came to fruition in 2024 with the grand opening of the Alan Horwitz “Sixth Man” Center. Located in Nicetown, North Philadelphia, this $36 million, 100,000 square-foot facility serves as a cornerstone of PYB’s mission. This state-of-the-art facility stands as a testament to Horwitz’s dedication to providing Philadelphia’s youth with opportunities for athletic, educational, and personal growth.

This induction acknowledges Horwitz’s decades-long commitment to the sport, his unwavering support of the Philadelphia 76ers, and his efforts to use basketball as a vehicle for community development. This honor cements Horwitz’s legacy not just as the “Sixth Man” of the Philadelphia 76ers, but as one of basketball’s most dedicated and recognized superfans, whose impact extends far beyond the court.
