BREAKING NEWS: Indiana Pacers Superstar Tyrese Haliburton Donates Entire $20 Million Bonus and Sponsorship Deal to Charities and Homeless Relief
In an unprecedented act of generosity, Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton has announced he is donating his entire $20 million bonus and recent sponsorship earnings to a range of charities, including those focused on homeless relief, youth programs, and veterans’ services.
Haliburton, 25, revealed the move during a press conference Thursday morning, citing his desire to give back to communities in need. “There are millions of people struggling every day — families without homes, kids without food, veterans without support,” Haliburton said. “If I can be a small part of changing that, then I’m doing what I believe is right.”
The donation will be distributed among national organizations and several Indiana-based nonprofits. Haliburton is also launching his own foundation focused on long-term solutions to homelessness and access to education for underprivileged youth.
NBA players and fans alike have praised Haliburton’s gesture as one of the most selfless in recent league history. Teammate Myles Turner said, “Tyrese isn’t just a leader on the court—he’s showing what it means to be a leader off the court, too.”
The news comes as Haliburton enjoys a career-best season, averaging over 22 points and 10 assists per game. His philanthropic move sets a powerful example at a time when social responsibility among athletes continues to grow.
Haliburton concluded his statement with a message of hope: “I’ve been blessed with a platform and resources. I’m just trying to use them to build something bigger than basketball.”
The NBA has confirmed that it will match a portion of Haliburton’s donation through its community outreach programs.
