NBA cares is a division of the National Basketball League who's mission is simply just to give back. They do this not only through money but also through starting programs for families all over the world. Since 2005 they have donated more than 270$ million dollars for charity. Spent more than 3.5 million hours of hands on service. Also have built more than 995 places for children and families to learn and play in their communities. As a former college basketball player and athlete for all my life this is something I can personally identify with I really think it is important to always give back. I like the fact that an organization such as the NBA recognizes that they are nothing without the support of fans and many of the communities they help out are the very fans who support them. I think it is amazing that the players spend their own time to donate to this cause also. These aren’t just professional athletes to a lot of children out there they are real life super heroes. As a fan of the NBA personally I feel good knowing that I support a company that goes above and beyond to give back to people. I am and will continue to be a fan of the NBA due to these contributions they make.
