Clippers’ Caron Butler gets into Thanksgiving spirit
It is the season of giving and Los Angeles Clippers forward Caron Butler is getting into the Thanksgiving spirit.
Butler will be donating 200 Thanksgiving meals to families in his hometown of Racine, Wis. The families receiving the meals were randomly selected by social services for the City of Racine. The meals will be handed out on Tuesday, Nov. 20.
Unfortunately, Butler will be busy with team activities during the holidays but his family members have volunteered to help out the cause.
“Although I won’t be able to be there physically, I have my whole family in Racine ready to help hand out these meals to assist these families in time for Thanksgiving,” Butler said. “We are thankful and blessed to be in this position to help others and with these blessings come a commitment from me to continue to give back to the community that made it all possible.”
The two-time NBA All-Star donated more than $200,000 this summer to local charities such as the United Way of Racine, the YMCA, George Bray Community Center, among others.
