Via ESPN:
Golden State Warriors All-Star Stephen Curry has partnered with former President Barack Obama’s My Brother’s Keeper Alliance for two years, and he is now utilizing his own platform on the court to draw attention to the latest efforts of the organization.
While in the nation’s capital to face off against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday, Curry will celebrate MBK with a pair of customized Curry 4 sneakers. The hand-painted shoes will later be signed by Curry and auctioned off, with proceeds benefiting local communities connected to the My Brother’s Keeper Alliance.
“The inspiration for the shoe I’ll be playing in today is every boy and young man of color in this country that need to know they matter – to their communities, their country, to me. Four years ago this week, the @mbk_alliance was created to reduce barriers and expand opportunity so nothing stands in the way of everyone achieving their biggest dreams. I’ve been proud to be part of that mission from day one, and I’ll never stop being my brothers’ keeper. I will auction these shoes and donate the proceeds in support of this critical movement.
