About NBA Cares:

NBA Cares is the league's social responsibility initiative that builds on the NBA's long tradition of addressing important social issues in the United States and around the world. Through this umbrella program, the NBA, its teams and players have committed to donating $100 million to charity, providing a million hours of hands on service to the community and creating 250 places where kids and families can live, learn or play.

Since October 2005 through NBA Cares, the league, players and teams have raised more than $97 million for charity, donated more than 800,000 hours of hands-on volunteer service to communities worldwide, and built more than 350 places where kids and families can live, learn or play.

The NBA is dedicated to demonstrating leadership in social responsibility, using the popularity and visibility of its teams, players and the league to effect positive change around the world. NBA teams and players understand the responsibility they have to giving back to the communities that support them, and they do so through a diverse array of outreach programs and events. The larger NBA Family (including current and former players and coaches, parents, wives, referees, and league and team employees) is committed to giving back, motivated by the unique opportunity to make a profound difference.

NBA Cares works with internationally-recognized, youth-serving organizations that are geared toward these key social issues:

1. Education
2. Youth and Family Development
3. Health-Related Causes
