Jrue Holiday to Use Orlando Game Checks For Social Justice Fund

Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday is planning to use his remaining game checks for the 2019-20 season to launch a "social justice fund," according to ESPN's Andrew Lopez.

Holiday and his wife, Lauren, will create the Jrue and Lauren Holiday Social Justice Impact Fund with the game checks, which could total up to $5.3 million. The fund will help aid communities in New Orleans, Indianapolis and the Los Angeles area, per Lopez.

"Honestly when it came down to it, it was me and my wife talking about what we could do to kind of further this movement and progression and being able to help out our community and just being able to help," Holiday told Lopez.
