Kobe Bryant's charity has gotten a new name following last month's helicopter crash that claimed the NBA superstar's life along with his 13-year-old daughter.

Bryant's widow, Vanessa, took to Instagram on Thursday with the announcement that the Mamba Sports Foundation will now include Gianna.

"Because there is no #24 without #2, we have updated the Mamba Sports Foundation to now be called the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation," she posted along with the new logo.
"Our mission remains the same - and stronger than ever - to provide opportunities to young people through sports," Vanessa continued, thanking fans for their donations and support.
