Khris Middleton Awarded NBA Cares Community Assist Award

A more serious post coming your way but I think it is important to let everyone know how the athletes from our favorite teams are making an important impact on the community.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton received the December NBA Cares Community Assist Award. The award recognizes an NBA player each month who best reflects the passion the league and its players share for giving back to their communities. In December, Middleton brightened the holiday season for youth and families in Wisconsin through his “12 Days of Khrismas” campaign.

During “12 Days of Khrismas” Middleton participated in 12 different acts of service with various people and community organizations. In Milwaukee, Middleton surprised single mothers with a full-service spa day, provided a makeover for a classroom at Milwaukee Environmental Science Academy, gave gift bags to teachers at Hawthorne Elementary School and bought moving supplies for a local small business. He also hosted a private screening of “The Grinch” with local youth in foster care, held a holiday shopping spree with Big Brothers Big Sisters and hosted more than 200 students from Milwaukee Public Schools’ Black and Latino Male Achievement program at a Bucks game in December.

I hope sharing this information brought a smile to everyones face today!
