“After agreeing to return to the Philadelphia 76ers as a free agent this summer, Tobias Harris wanted to find a way to make an impact in the city he now will be calling home for the foreseeable future.”
“He wound up creating a unique way to do so, which he unveiled Tuesday afternoon: donating a total of $1 million to nine different charities — more than $600,000 of which went to charities based in Philadelphia — in a “community draft” that was held at Mastery Prep Elementary School.”
“We need our community, we need our city to be behind us,” Harris said. “And we have to empower our city and kids, young kids who look up to us as athletes, as basketball players.”
