The Philadelphia 76ers announced on Thursday that Managing Partner Joshua and Marjorie Harris will make a “6-figure donation” to three homeless shelters in the Philadelphia area. The beneficiaries include Project HOME, Sunday Breakfast Rescue Mission, and Youth Service INC.
The funding will go towards providing shelter, case management, and three meals per day for 500 men in emergency shelter; providing food, shelter, and emergency funds for youth experiencing housing insecurity, emergency childcare, direct case management services, parenting education, and more; and providing shelter for homeless mothers and children in addition to family counseling, personal recovery services, health care, and education.
As noted by Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia, star center Joel Embiid donated his All-Star winnings to the same causes last year.

This is a big contribution by the Harris family and it is admirable that they are helping out their communities.
