While injuries and inconsistency on the court kept the Utah Jazz from realizing their playoff aspirations, the team and its partners had another banner year on the charitable front.
According to a news release from the team, the Jazz and six organizations combined to donate nearly $300,000 dollars to an array of community outreach efforts. Donations went toward various schools, non-profit organizations and residents of the intermountain region to better the lives of youth and families.
