The Toronto Raptors are winners of the NBA inclusion leadership award for the 2021-22 season, the league announced Monday.
The Raptors were recognized for their inclusion program that’s committed to “generating meaningful and long-lasting impact for communities within the city of Toronto.” The program includes initiatives like the Wayne and Theresa Embry Fellowship and the Welcome Toronto Creators Program.
“Inclusion isn’t simply a business pillar for our organization; it is at the centre of everything we do,” John Wiggins, Raptors’ vice-president of organizational culture and inclusion, said Tuesday in a news release.
