Entain partners NBA legend Oakley on charity project
| By Robert Fletcher
The Entain Foundation US, the non-profit charitable trust established by the operator, has partnered with former National Basketball Association (NBA) player Charles Oakley on a charity initiative.
The new partnership will see the Entain Foundation US sponsor the sporting icon’s ‘Oak Out Hunger’ project to include education about responsible gambling.
The Entain Foundation US will provide funding and expertise in preventing and mitigating problem gambling to the initiative, which is delivered by the Charles Oakley Foundation.
This will be offered alongside other forms of support to impoverished, underprivileged communities facing hunger, addiction and economic challenges in cities across the US.
From early 2022, the program will operate in cities including Los Angeles, New York, Buffalo, Philadelphia and New Orleans, coinciding with major sporting events.
