L.A. Clippers point guard Chris Paul is the recipient of the NBA Cares Community Assist Award presented by Kaiser Permanente for the month of April in recognition of his ongoing advocacy, philanthropy and contributions to his community, the NBA announced today.
Paul earned the honor for his community work through his Chris Paul Family Foundation. The foundation, formerly known as the CP3 Foundation, was established in 2005 and focuses on enriching the communities it serves through numerous initiatives and programs.
“I learned at an early age that you can make a major difference in someone’s life by supporting your community,” said Paul.
