[vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_single_image image=”12993″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]SEATTLE, WA (August 18, 2015) —<\/strong> Seattle-area NBA<\/a> players will join humanitarian organization World Vision<\/a> to distribute school supplies to students in Seattle and Tacoma neighborhoods at three giveaway events in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

“The cost of school supplies can be a real burden to families as the start of the school year nears,” said Reed Slattery, manager of World Vision’s Pacific Northwest Teacher Resource Center in Fife, Wash. “These events are a way that World Vision can help students in our own community start the year off well.”<\/p>\n

To schedule interviews with the players or World Vision staff, please contact Amy Parodi<\/a> or Reed Slattery at 1.253.347.2502.<\/p>\n
