Ball, who is known for his skills and energy on the court, also has a passion for giving back to his community. He aims to help meet the growing need for pet food, veterinarian care, and resources in underserved areas by advocating for the Humane Society’s #MoreThanAPet campaign. Ball tweeted to express his excitement on social media
“I’m excited to join The Humane Society of the United States as Ambassador for the #MoreThanAPet Campaign to support their work to help provide food, vet care, and other much-needed resources to pets. For every point I score this season, 250 meals of pet food will go to pets and their families in underserved communities. Let’s make a difference together—every basket counts!”
The Humane Society is supporting pet owners who may struggle to access essential pet care and supplies through this initiative. For many families, particularly those with financial difficulties, it can be tough to afford pet food and healthcare costs. Ball’s involvement is intended to bridge that gap, providing attention and assistance to communities in need.
As the NBA season progresses, Ball’s efforts are expected to have an even bigger impact. Each game, he will donate thousands more meals, which symbolizes his commitment to using his athletic achievements to support a greater cause. Fans and pet owners across the country are rallying around his generous initiative, looking forward to seeing his ideas translate into meals and resources for pets in need.
Ball has previously donated, but this partnership illustrates a new level of commitment as he combines his on-court success with a cause he is passionate about. Through this campaign, every basket becomes more than just a score; it’s a step towards ensuring that pets in underserved communities receive the care and nourishment they deserve.
