As the winner, Anthony was able to select an organization — Portland Art Museum’s Black Arts and Experiences Initiative — to receive a $100,000 contribution on his behalf. Barnes, Harris, Holiday and Toscano-Anderson will also receive $25,000 to give to a charity of their choice. In the near future, Anthony and Abdul-Jabbar are expected to develop and design the trophy with inspiration from both of their visions with a team of emerging designers from diverse backgrounds from the Marcus Graham Project — a national organization and inaugural NBA Foundation grant recipient focused on developing the next generation of diverse leaders in advertising, media and marketing industry through training, mentorship and professional development opportunities.
