Jayson Tatum, known for his impact on the basketball court with the Boston Celtics and in his community, recently unveiled a significant partnership for his charity foundation. Speaking on “CBS Mornings,” Tatum disclosed a multi-year collaboration with the banking company SoFi, which involves a donation exceeding one million dollars to support low-income and single-parent households.
Expressing his connection to the initiative, Tatum emphasized the importance of this partnership, reflecting on his upbringing in a single-parent household. Drawing from his experiences, the Celtics star underscored his passion for the project and his desire to assist those facing similar challenges.
“Being able to partner with SoFi on something we are both passionate about… Understanding how valuable this would have been to me and my mother,” Tatum articulated. “Being able to achieve generational wealth myself, and then change a community, change the places I came from with that.”
As one of the NBA’s premier talents, Tatum has secured significant financial stability, highlighted by his lucrative five-year, $163 million contract extension with the Celtics in the summer of 2020.
