Dominican basketball player Charlie Villanueva has been named the recipient of the NBA Community Assist Award for August, in recognition of his community service efforts. This is the second time Villanueva has received this award. The young star is being honored for his participation in the Tenis Para Ninos initiative, which has worked with the Charlie Villanueva Foundation, SolesUnitedSm and Crocs, Inc to give poor children in the DR 10,000 pairs of recycled shoes. "While I've enjoyed participating in many community initiatives over the years, I feel that this project is particularly special," said Villanueva. As part of the award the NBA will give the CVF a US$5,000 donation.
