OT: Tim Duncan "2:1" HOLIDAY CHALLENGE 

Post#1 » by G R E Y » Wed Dec 6, 2017 6:55 am

Tim is raising money for the San Antonio Food Bank during the holidays, a more difficult time than usual for those who don't have enough to eat. TD will donate up to $500K of his own money in the matching donation challenge. What a kind, generous, and thoughtful thing to do. That's character for you.

Each donor of $21 or more will receive a one-of-a-kind holiday card from #21 himself.

The first ten donors of $2100 or more will receive a 2014 NBA Spurs Championship hat signed by Tim Duncan.

Retired Spurs superstar challenges San Antonio to help him fight hunger

Duncan, dressed down for the occasion in a hoody and sweats, said it was “humbling…to have the opportunity to make San Antonio a better place for everyone.”


For his part, Popovich joked that he only showed up at the news conference to “try and sign Timmy again” before he turned serious. “We all know about how great Tim was on the court, but he is a stalwart off the court as well,” helping the community, “although many don’t know that about him because he’s so silent and selfless in everything he does,” he said.... “Hopefully, people will respond to (Duncan’s matching challenge), because the city really needs it,” he said. “The magnitude of the need boggles the mind.”


The San Antonio Food Bank provides millions of pounds of food each year to more than 500 charitable organizations in South Texas. In addition to food distribution, it provides numerous programs that address the immediate problems of hunger, as well as helping individuals and families gain long-term food security.
