Player Choice Grant

The 2011-2012 season marked the second consecutive year that the BCSF has allocated $50,000 as part of the Player Choice Grant. This grant allows all members of the Celtics roster to vote on the beneficiary of this donation.

During the 2010-2011 season, players chose to build two computer labs in Boston Public Schools. The Hernandez K-8 School in Roxbury, MA and the Edison K-8 School in Brighton, MA each received 25-plus brand new computers, Celtics graphics and other technological resources to help prepare their students for future success.

During the 2011-2012 season, the players chose to refurbish two indoor basketball courts in underserved communities. The refurbished courts are at the Lynn YMCA and the Bruce School in Lawrence.
