Atlanta Hawks

Since 2019, the Atlanta Hawks Foundation and the Ressler Gertz Family Foundation have partnered with the Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) to combat prostate cancer and raise awareness about the disease. This collaboration has resulted in significant contributions, including a recent $150,000 donation, bringing the total support to over $1 million. The partnership emphasizes the importance of early detection and treatment, particularly among Black men, who are disproportionately affected by prostate cancer. Through initiatives like the Black History Month Assist Challenge, the Hawks have committed to donating funds for every assist made during February games, with contributions matched by the Ressler Gertz Family Foundation. These efforts have not only provided substantial financial support for research but have also played a crucial role in educating the community and promoting prostate cancer screenings.
