On Wednesday the Atlanta Hawks Foundation and Vision To Learn, a non-profit provider that grants free eye exams and glasses to students in metro Atlanta, joined together to host a celebration at Fulton County Schools’ Camp Creek Middle School, where more than 150 students received new eyeglasses of their choice and vision screenings.
The event featured Hawks star John Collins, who was joined by members of Hawks Entertainment including in-game host Shamea Morton, Harry the Hawk, ATL Hawks Dancers and the Flight Crew. After receiving their glasses, the students collaborated with Hawks Entertainment and Collab Crib, an Atlanta-based content house made up of black creators, to create TikTok videos.
“It is important that the Hawks Foundation continues to empower the city’s youth,” said Hawks Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility Andrea Carter. “This event at Camp Creek Middle School is one way that we continue to make an impact through the power of vision not just on the court, but also in the classroom and beyond.”
