It was announced on Thursday that the  Snack Pack Program ambassador and Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Cam Reddish has been awarded the Jason Collier Memorial Trophy for the 2020-21 season. Reddish is the 14th player to receive the award, earned annually by the Hawks player who most closely exemplifies the characteristics of a community ambassador displayed by Collier, the late Atlanta center who passed away in 2005.

“On behalf of myself, Ella, and my family we would love to congratulate Cam Reddish, the recipient of this years’ Jason Collier Community Service Award,” said Katie Collier, wife of the late Jason Collier. “We are so very proud of him and thank him for all of the time and dedication that he has given to our Atlanta community. Thank you to the Atlanta Hawks for continuing to honor our family by recognizing a player for this award each season, go Hawks!”

 Reddish, whose mother is an educator, and  passionate about education knows that children need to have the proper nourishment to truly be successful while learning. Initially the Snack Pack Program only served students throughout the school year, but recently the partnership between the Hawks and State Farm expanded their efforts to continue throughout the summer as well.

Meanwhile the Atlanta Hawks gained their 10th straight home game win when the team defeated Orlando on Thursday night.

Atlanta is living high with a total of 40 wins and with their 120-116 victory over Washington on 5/12, the Hawks clinched their first playoff appearance since the 2016-17 season . Atlanta’s 40-31 record is the franchise’s best through 71 games since the 2015-16 Hawks.

Atlanta will be closing out the regular season on Sunday when the team match up against the Rockets.

Stay tuned for further updates and playoff coverage of the Atlanta Hawks.
