New Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday has pledged to donate the remainder of his 2020 salary to small, Black-owned businesses and non-profits.
“With the Covid-19 Pandemic and heightened racial injustices in 2020, many of us have been looking for answers. Lauren & I found ourselves searching for ways to help our community at a time when they needed it most,” Holiday wrote on Instagram. “Pledging the remainder of our 2020 NBA salary to small black owned businesses, nonprofits and initiatives is how we felt we could make a lasting impact.”
Holiday was acquired by the Bucks from the Pelicans in a four-team blockbuster last month. He signed a five-year contract worth more than $131 million ahead of the 2017-18 season and earned more than $25.3 million last season.
