10 NBA COMMUNITY PROGRAMS NBA COMMUNITY PROGRAMS The NBA is strongly committed to creating programs that improve the quality of life for all people, with a special emphasis on reading and youth programs. Each year the league, its players and its teams donate millions of dollars and hundreds of hours to charities and community outreach programs. Through its extensive outreach programs, team foundations, and public service announcements, the NBA is deeply involved in addressing a variety of important social issues in its communities. READ TO ACHIEVE Read to Achieve is a year-round program designed to help young people develop a life-long love for reading that reaches an estimated 50 million children a year. It is the most extensive educational outreach initiative in the history of professional sports. In addition to a year-round promotional campaign, the effort includes the annual donation of more than 300,000 books through a variety of reading events and book fairs, as well as the creation of locally based Reading and Learning Centers. With the support of long-time national partners such as RIF and Scholastic Inc., the NBA has created more than 30 Reading and Learning Centers throughout North America in an effort to provide access to reading materials and technology to young people everywhere. Integral components of the program are national and local All-Star Reading Teams comprised of current and former NBA and WNBA players and other members of the NBA family, who promote reading efforts through in-arena events, Public Service Announcements, and community appearances throughout the year. COMMUNITY ASSIST AWARD In recognition of the community outreach and commitment to service of our players, the league has established the Community Assist Award, which honors players whose efforts in the community are truly outstanding. To honor the NBA Player that reflects the passion that the league and its players have for their communities, all 29 NBA teams nominate a player for the Community Assist Award which is presented monthly throughout the year. NBA AND WNBA SPORTSMANSHIP AWARDS Awarded annually at the conclusion of each league s regular season, the NBA and WNBA Sportsmanship Awards recognize players who embody the spirit of sportsmanship. The NBA makes a $25,000 donation on behalf of the NBA Sportsmanship Award honoree, and a $10,000 donation on behalf of each of the three divisional awardees, to the charitable organization of their choice. OTHER PROGRAMS The NBA also supports the efforts of Prevent Child Abuse America, honors the Martin Luther King Holiday, Black History Month, Gallaudet University, the Thurgood Marshall Scholarship Fund and the National Wheelchair Basketball Association. 78
