Team receives President's Award for community service
The Boston Celtics have been recognized for their community service efforts, receiving the President's Award from the National Basketball Association (NBA). The award is given annually to the team that best exemplifies the NBA's commitment to community service.
The Celtics have a long history of community involvement, dating back to the team's founding in 1946. The team has been involved in a variety of charitable endeavors, including youth basketball programs, educational initiatives, and health and wellness programs.
In recent years, the Celtics have been particularly focused on addressing the needs of underprivileged communities. The team has partnered with several local organizations to provide support for education, job training, and housing.
"We are honored to receive this award," said Celtics President Rich Gotham. "We believe that it is our responsibility to give back to the community that supports us."
The Celtics' community service efforts have been praised by many, including NBA Commissioner Adam Silver.
"The Boston Celtics are a model for how NBA teams can make a positive impact on their communities," said Silver. "Their commitment to community service is inspiring."
The Celtics were presented with the President's Award at a ceremony in New York City on Wednesday. The team was represented by Gotham, several players, and members of the Celtics organization.
