Newest OKC Thunder Stars Establish Community Efforts

Six months is all it took for Paul George to become heavily invested in his new community.

In late 2017, the Paul George Foundation launched its outdoor initiative in partnership with the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.

The program, “Fishing in the Schools,” encourages students to discover a potential new hobby while spending time outside.

To kick off George’s new campaign, 45 elementary school students from Stanley Hupfeld Academy joined him at the Chesapeake Boathouse in Downtown Oklahoma City.

There, they practiced casting and reeling in a line before hopping on a boat with George himself.
