As part of their ongoing 50th Season celebration, the Cleveland Cavaliers are proud to announce $250,000 of donations to local charitable organizations. Through the Cavaliers Community Foundation, the team will donate $50,000 every month for five months to local non-profit organizations. The Greater Cleveland Food Bank will be the first recipient, with the Cavs donating $50,000 to their BackPacks for Kids program.
The Food Bank’s BackPacks for Kids program provides children with food to take home over the weekend. During the school year, the Food Bank partners with schools and nonprofit after-school programs to provide bags of food that are sent home with each child on Fridays to sustain them through the weekend.
