Jrue Holiday is putting his money where it matters the most.
Holiday announced on Wednesday that he will donate his game checks from the NBA restart in Orlando — which could be as much as $5.3 million — to charitable causes (particularly black-owned businesses hit by the COVID-19 pandemic) through the new Jrue and Lauren Holiday Social Justice Impact Fund he is about to set up.
The Holidays are the latest members of the NBA family to publicly confirm they will contribute to social justice issues. Patty Mills said last week he plans to donate the $1,017,818.54 salary he will earn from the NBA restart to Black Lives Matter organizations in Australia.
