2017 NBA Champion Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant received the Alvin Attles Community Impact Award in recognition of his efforts to make a positive impact on the lives of underserved youth around the world, it was announced today. The award, named in Warriors Legend Alvin Attles’ honor, celebrates Attles’ long-time commitment and dedication to the community and recognizes a current Warriors player who goes above and beyond to support local underprivileged youth.
To honor Durant for his continued commitment to giving back, the Warriors Community Foundation is donating $15,000 to a charity of Durant’s choice, the Oakland Elizabeth House, which offers residence to women and children who have experienced homelessness, violence or addiction.
