>Jalen Brunson spent a few days in the Chicago area with the goal of elevating a community, inspiring kids, and raising funds for America’s youth. Brunson’s first stop of the week was Stevenson High School, his old stomping grounds in Lincolnshire, Illinois, to host the annual Jalen Brunson Skills Academy. During the three-day event, which launched in 2019, kids from the sixth to eighth grade were able to train and learn valuable techniques from Brunson and other experienced basketball voices in the area.
>His new charitable organization, the Second Round Foundation, hosted a golf tournament Thursday at the Twin Orchard Country Club in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, roughly five miles from Stevenson High. Tagged as the Jalen Brunson Charity Golf Classic, the event helped raise funds for the foundation, which prides itself on guiding the next generation through academics, sports, and outreach.
>The tournament featured celebrity guests and prominent figures from the Chicago area, including ESPN’s Michael Wilbon, who hosted a dinner and spoke to guests following the event. Plenty of Brunson’s NBA peers joined the action, too, including Knicks teammate Josh Hart, former teammate Obi Tobbin, and his father, Rick Brunson.
>On Saturday, Brunson will cap this eventful and memorable week by getting married to his longtime girlfriend after becoming engaged last offseason.
