According to The Athletic’s Mike Vorkunov, New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson has promised to donate $100 to the “Tackle Kid Cancer” organization for every block during the 2019-20 season.
According to report, the Hackensack Meridian Health Children’s Cancer Center Institute is partnering with the Knicks and the Garden of Dreams Foundation to create the Blocking out Childhood Cancer initiative.
The Knicks had already pledged $50 per block for the entire 2019-20 season, and Robinson decided to double those efforts on his own blocks. Last season, the Knicks, as a team totaled 422 blocks and Robinson had 161 of those blocks in an impressive rookie campaign.
