Kevin Durant - STRONG & KIND

 

Kevin Durant has partnered with KIND, a healthy snack food company,

to promote an initiative which aims to challenge deep-rooted stereotypes

and redefine cultural perceptions of strength and kindness.

 

Durant and KIND ask people to commit to these five principles:

•  Having the courage to be kind when others may not

•  Looking out for those who can't look out for themselves

•  Standing up when others would rather stand out

•  Leaving their world a kinder place than they found it

•  Being Strong and Kind

 

Aim High Academy was one of 35 recipients

receiving a $10,000 grant

from the Kevin Durant Foundation

and will be promoting the above five principles in its program.

 

 

"This is really near and dear to my heart.

I just want to change how people think about being kind.

A lot of people associate it with being weak.

But I think you have to be really strong to be kind and respectful."

--Kevin Durant

 

We thank the Kevin Durant Charity Foundation

for selecting Aim High to receive a grant.

 

We are so grateful to KIND

for donating $1 million to the Kevin Durant Charity Foundation

to create specialized education and after-school programming

for at-risk youth to teach them how to be

STRONG & KIND.

 

What a blessing!
