The Hawks’ Kyle Korver was awarded the Jason Collier Memorial Trophy by the organization for his dedication to community service.
The Jason Collier Memorial Trophy, named after the late Hawks center who passed away October 15, 2005, is presented annually to the individual who best exemplifies the characteristics Collier displayed off the court as a community ambassador.
A frequent participant in community and charitable endeavors over his two seasons with the Hawks, Korver is also involved in a number of philanthropic initiatives through his Kyle Korver Foundation, as well as being the owner and operator of Seer Outfitters, a clothing brand which donates 100% of its profits to support organizations and causes throughout the country.
This is the ninth year the Hawks have awarded the trophy. Past recipients include: Josh Childress (2005-06 and 2006-07), Marvin Williams (2007-08 and 2010-11), Al Horford (2008-09), Josh Smith (2009-10), Zaza Pachulia (2011-12) and Devin Harris (2012-13).
