The foundation of Philadelphia 76ers wing Glenn Robinson III will partner with three different organizations based in his hometown of Gary, Ind. to fight against racial justice and police brutality.
Robinson’s ARI Foundation, named after his daughter, announced it will launch fundraising campaigns with Sojourner Truth House, My Brother’s Keeper and Geminus. Robinson spoke to USA TODAY Sports Media Group NBA Wire editor Bryan Kalbrosky:
“What else could I do, besides just saying Black Lives Matter? As we hear a lot of talk, sometimes people just aren’t educated enough to know exactly what’s going on … So, OK, these are ways that you can donate, or these are ways that you can and help and fight the cause, and really put the actions on your words.”
Donations to the ARI Foundation can be made at the organization’s website.
