The San Antonio Spurs are finalists for the Sports Humanitarian Team of the Year Award, and nominee for Muhammad Ali Sports Humanitarian is Austin FC goalkeeper Brad Stuver.
The Spurs are up for nomination for the Sports Humanitarian Team of the Year Award because of the work they’ve done in Uvalde, Texas, after the mass shooting at Robb Elementary on May 24, 2022. The team has been with the community every step of the way as they’ve recovered. Whether through investing funds or physically showing up for youth, the Spurs have used sports to render emotional support and give the community some sense of joy during a time that’s been tough for so many.
“The Spurs staff has volunteered more than 700 hours in Uvalde to date, distributed more than 1,500 free tickets, donated sports equipment to youth basketball teams and have raised more than $1M in funds committed to uplifting and supporting the community for many years to come,” according to ESPN.
