In terms of Wade in particular, the Hall of Fame published this statement, via Winderman:

“Understanding that his life is bigger than basketball, 12-time NBA All-Star Dwyane Wade and his family established the Wade's World Foundation in 2003, a nonprofit charity organization dedicated to giving back to at-risk communities of Chicago, Milwaukee, and the South Florida region. The foundation is dedicated to providing opportunities that enable children to overcome challenges, excel academically and reach their maximum potential while focusing on the initiatives of literacy, health and fatherhood. With a personal goal to give every child a shot at life, Dwyane and WWF support a variety of programs including literacy initiatives, youth basketball clinics, court refurbishments and holiday giving. Wade and his foundation have received numerous awards over the past 14 years including the NBA Cares season-long Kia Community Assist Award in 2013 and the BET Humanitarian Award.”

This award was won by multiple NBA players in the past. It was won by Chris Paul, Magic Johnson, Grant Hill, Jalen Rose, Steve Smith, Alonzo Mourning, Dikembe Mutombo, and David Robinson.
