SAN ANTONIO (Oct. 17, 2016) – Silver & Black Give Back, the nonprofit partner of the Spurs Sports & Entertainment family of teams, announced today the launch of Austin Spurs Team Up. The service-learning initiative encourages kids to get involved and better their community. For the first time, student-led Austin-area schools and nonprofits can apply for grants to fund a project that improves the community in one of five categories: Arts & Culture, Education, Environment, Health & Wellness or Uniformed Services.
Austin Spurs players will review the Austin Spurs Team Up applications and select grant recipients based on need, collaboration and potential impact of the project.
