Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton is doing all he can to help the relief fund in the Bahamas, which was tragically struck by Hurricane Dorian.
Ayton was born and raised in the Bahamas. The Suns big man was at a local Fry’s grocery store Tuesday night hosting a donation drive. He has also pledged $100,000 to various hurricane relief efforts.
“It ain’t even about me,” Ayton said, via Gina Mizell of The Athletic. “I’m just happy I can use the platform I’m at right now to just really (help with) some type of good cause. … Trying to bounce back from all of that is pretty rough. Just being here and working hard and having the fans and family helping and supporting in the best way they can, it’s the least we can (do). I hope that everything goes well down there.
“This truly means a lot. I just want to keep this thing going for the rest of my career, rest of my life, until my country is back on their feet.”
Deandre Ayton was the No. 1 overall pick by the Suns in last year's draft. Phoenix has to be proud its franchise big man is taking the time to help the Bahamas.
