Special thanks to Shane Young at Forbes for this great article on our 3rd Annual Charity Golf Classic & Dinner Reception. Thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s events unforgettable.
Here’s an excerpt from the article:
On the court, New York Knicks superstar Jalen Brunson has earned his reputation. As a two-time All-Star and one of the most prolific playoff scorers of this generation, he’s become a role model for aspiring athletes in one of the largest and most diverse cities in the world.
But if you ask him, that identity comes with immense responsibility – one that he doesn’t take lightly.
Away from the spotlight of Madison Square Garden, he’s proving that his greatest victories as a professional athlete go far beyond the hardwood. He doesn’t only want to inspire future athletes. He would rather pave the way for kids, especially in underprivileged environments, to achieve their dreams through academics and the development of leadership skills.
For Brunson, that’s every bit of the legacy he wants to leave behind.
The Second Round Foundation, launched by Brunson and his mother Sandra two years ago, became the family’s way of chasing that dream and helping the next generation. It’s a charitable organization designed to create equal opportunities for teens and children. Their efforts are intentionally focused on education, youth sports, and community outreach.
