Larry Nance Jr. has always seemed like a really cool dude, but he confirmed that with a new personal initiative to help small businesses he announced on Wednesday.
COVID-19 has been a struggle for small businesses around the country. Nance is doing his part to help the ones out in Cleveland who may need a bit of assistance.
Nance is asking people to send him pieces of apparel from their favorite local small businesses in Cleveland so he can raise awareness on them. He’ll be photographed in the apparel piece and will post about the business in his social media channels.
On top of that, he’ll be auctioning off his game worn jerseys this season and donating all proceeds to the small business’s apparel that he’s wearing that night.

“Locally owned businesses are some of othe pillars of our communities. They have bee, and still are being hit hard by this pandemic. In an effort to bring some extra support to them I need your help.”
On top of that, Nance is donating the apparel he wears back to homeless shelters.
All apparel we receive, after being supported and acknowledged, will be donated back to local area homeless shelters
