朱-霍勒迪(Jrue Holiday)在场外所做出的贡献持续受到NBA的关注和赞赏。

波士顿凯尔特人队的后卫霍勒迪,于周三被宣布为本赛季联盟社会公正冠军奖的获得者。就在不到一周前,霍勒迪刚刚第二次荣获联盟的体育精神奖。

NBA将向朱和劳伦-霍勒迪社会影响基金会捐赠10万美元,霍勒迪本人将获得卡里姆-阿卜杜尔-贾巴尔奖杯。霍勒迪是从包括迈阿密的巴姆-阿德巴约、圣安东尼奥的哈里森-巴恩斯、多伦多的克里斯-布歇和新奥尔良的CJ-麦科勒姆在内的决赛入围者中脱颖而出的。

NBA表示,该奖项旨在表彰那些“追求社会公正,并推进阿卜杜尔-贾巴尔的人生使命,即为历史上处于弱势地位的个人和群体提供参与、赋权和推动平等”的人。

霍勒迪和他的妻子劳伦共同创立的基金会,通常被称为JLH基金,已经分发了超过530万美元的赠款,并为美国各地近200家企业提供了超过400小时的指导和支持。该基金会成立于五年前,当时霍勒迪决定参加2019-20赛季的复赛,并将该赛季剩余的500万美元工资捐赠给受系统性种族主义和经济不公正影响的企业和社区。

“自从进入联盟以来,朱-霍勒迪(Jrue Holiday)一直致力于在他人最需要帮助的时候伸出援手,并为所有人追求一个更加公正的社会,”NBA副总裁兼首席运营官马克-塔图姆说。“他比赛中展现的无私精神,在他和他的妻子劳伦在场外为那些可能被忽视的年轻一代创造更多机会的工作中,体现得更加淋漓尽致。”

JLH基金会自成立以来扩大了其服务范围,最近的一些举措包括帮助今年早些时候受洛杉矶地区野火影响的人们,为企业提供赠款资本,并帮助企业家和其他人获得来自麻省理工学院、哈佛大学和萨福克大学等高校的指导。

该奖项由一个专家小组决定,成员包括塔图姆、阿卜杜尔-贾巴尔、人权活动家理查德-拉普奇克、国家城市联盟主席兼首席执行官马克-莫里亚尔、UnidosUS主席兼首席执行官珍妮特-穆尔吉亚,以及来自小NBA和小WNBA领袖法庭的青年代表JJ-曼达奎特。

Jrue Holiday’s commitment to off-court work continues to be noticed and appreciated within the NBA.

Holiday, a guard on the Boston Celtics, was revealed Wednesday as the recipient of the league’s Social Justice Champion award for this season. The announcement came less than a week after Holiday won the league’s sportsmanship award for the second time his career.

The NBA will donate $100,000 to the Jrue and Lauren Holiday Social Impact Fund, and he will receive the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Trophy. Holiday was selected from a group of finalists that also included Miami’s Bam Adebayo, San Antonio’s Harrison Barnes, Toronto’s Chris Boucher and New Orleans’ CJ McCollum.

The award, the NBA said, pays tribute to those who are “pursuing social justice and advancing Abdul-Jabbar’s life mission to engage, empower and drive equality for individuals and groups who have been historically disadvantaged.”

The fund started by Holiday and his wife Lauren, commonly called the JLH Fund, has distributed over $5.3 million in grants and delivered more than 400 hours of coaching and support to nearly 200 businesses across the U.S. It was founded five years ago after Holiday, when he decided to play in the bubble during the 2019-20 season, pledged the $5 million that remained on his salary that season to help businesses and communities affected by systemic racism and economic injustice.

“Since entering the league, Jrue Holiday has dedicated himself to helping others in their times of greatest need and pursuing a more just society for all,” NBA deputy commissioner and chief operating officer Mark Tatum said. “The selflessness that defines his game is even more evident in the work he and his wife Lauren do off the floor to create more opportunities for a generation of youth who might have otherwise been overlooked.”

The JLH Fund has expanded its scope since, with some of its recent efforts including helping those affected by the wildfires in the Los Angeles area earlier this year, providing grant capital to businesses and helping entrepreneurs and others have access to coaching from schools such as MIT, Harvard and Suffolk University.

The award is decided upon by a panel that includes Tatum, Abdul-Jabbar, human rights activist Richard Lapchick, National Urban League president and CEO Marc Morial, UnidosUS president and CEO Janet Murguía, and youth representative JJ Mandaquit from the Jr. NBA and Jr. WNBA Court of Leaders.
