Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic and his wife, Gaga, are donating $20 for every assist the Raptors tally this year, dating back to the start of the season.
The proceeds will go to SickKids, St. Jude’s, and a Serbian children’s hospital.

1302 assists to date = $26040.
Currently, we average 29.6 apg (will round up to 30)…at that rate, and by the end of the regular season (so not including play in + 16 playoff games 😉)
=
2460 assists

$49200 in donations. Thats our mf coach right there!
Cosch Darko is a class act, man.
He really is the real life Ted Lasso, it’s incredible.
Fucking amazing. Big ups to Darko and Gaga!
nice little tax break
Great guy. Going to suck when he gets fired next year.
This is really great of the Rajakovic’s. Much love and respect!
I don’t know how long Darko will be the head coach of our team, I just know that whenever he leaves, we will never forget him.
This man is literally on a mission to win out hearts
That’s great
This badass 😎💎
MLSE should be on board with this and donate a matching amount as well. At least people paying to see can feel good knowing not everything is for profit.
No doubt Darko is a really good human being. I do think he needs a veteran assistant coach, that was a former head coach to help him learn the coaching job.
This is nice and all but you can’t make the headline of the post “Blake Murphy on X” with no futher context I thought I was gonna open up a “Scottie traded” post.
nice gesture from our coach. In-person visits from Raps players are always gonna be appreciated by the patients at SickKids too.
SickKids has been really good at marketing themselves as *the* charity to give to if people want to “help the children”. Their c- suite is full of crooks (like way more than the average GTA hospital). I highly recommend people donate to covenant house instead.
Remainder of season: Playing for highlight reels and a legitimately good cause m.
Awesome gesture. One more thing to root for when watching the game. A textbook bounce pass, a perfect give and go, or pick and pop, etc is gonna be a lot more exciting knowing this lol
So can we now argue teams that defend us too well hate Children lol
Great gesture by Darko and his wife.
