Trae Young is an All-Star both on and off the court. The Atlanta Hawks guard returned from All-Star Weekend in Chicago to find out that he would receive the January NBA Cares Community Assist Award for his work in his adopted state of Georgia and his native state of Oklahoma.

In Atlanta, Trae donated $10,000 through the Trae Young Foundation to RIP Medical Debt, which used those funds to eliminate more than $1 million in medical debt for nearly 600 people in the city. His foundation has also worked to promote education, inclusion, health and wellness in Atlanta, in conjunction with its mission to raise awareness around mental health and bullying of all kinds.

In Oklahoma, the 21-year-old continued to support the Trae Young Basketball Academy, which offers the youth in the Sooner State a place to develop their skills as basketball players and leaders.

“It’s very important to me that I use my platform to make a difference and give back in any way I can,” Trae said in a statement.  “Working with kids across the city is not only a rewarding and inspiring experience, but something that I genuinely love to do. The city of Atlanta and everyone in it has welcomed and supported me with open arms from the very beginning and I’m honored to give back to the community every chance I get.”

To recognize Trae’s charitable efforts, NBA Global Ambassador and former Hawks All-Star Dikembe Mutombo will present him with the Community Assist Award in an oncourt ceremony prior to Atlanta’s game against the Dallas Mavericks at State Farm Arena on Saturday. Moreover, Kaiser Permanente and the NBA will donate $10,000 on Trae’s behalf to the Boys & Girls Club of Metro Atlanta.
