What professional sports gives back the most
If you ask most people what professional sports gives back to the community the most. A lot of sports fans may be bias and say the National football league, major league soccer, major league baseball, or the National hockey League. Although they may feel as though that particular organization donates more. I feel as though the national basketball Association (NBACARES) has been tremendous in helping people across the world. Since October 2005 according to www.nbacares.com the league and teams have raised more than $225 million for charity, provided more than 2.6 million hours of hands-on service, and built more than 830 places where kids and families can live, learn or play in communities around the world.
Being a two sport athlete playing both Basketball and Football I know if I make it to the Next level in my career one of the first things I would do is invest into giving back to my community and helping charities around the world. Ever since about 6 years old I would always go with my grandma to the local food give pantry at her church, helping give food to families and in need of extra or those who were homeless. We would go every two weeks. At first i never really wanted to go because I thought all homeless people were smelly until I seen young children my age, younger and some older than me. My heart had immediately felt sorrowful, but I knew then that I wanted to help people who were in need and do all I could to make a difference in people’s lives. As I got older I would become more involved and helping not only at church but at my high school. Participating in clubs such as national French honor society and food drives we helped people on special holidays such as Christmas and thanksgiving.
Charity excites me I found out that The NBA 's has different community outreach programs continue to help social issues, including education; environmental protection, health and wellness, and they also have youth and family development. These programs
