After signing a five-year, $195 million rookie extension this offseason, Utah Ja
zz star Donovan Mitchell is sharing the wealth.
在签下5年195M美金的合约之后,Donovan Mitchell便慷慨解囊。
Mitchell and his family agreed to the largest single pledge of support in the hi
story of the Greenwich Country Day School, promising $12 million to the school h
e graduated from in 2012, according to a press release Friday.
根据周五的报导所称,Mitchell和他的家人同意了一笔12M的赞助,给他在2012年毕业的母
校Greenwich Country Day School,此承诺为该校历史上最大的赞助。
His mother, Nicole, was a lower elementary school teacher at GCDS from 2007 unti
l just last year and his sister, Jordan, graduated from the school in 2017.
他的母亲Nicole从2007年至去年都在该校担任小学低年级的老师,而他的妹妹Jordan也在20
17从该校毕业。
Some of the funds will be used for the Mitchell Family Scholarship Fund, which i
s set to help GCDS “remain a leader in providing need-based aid for students in
grades Nursery through 12,” per the release. There will also be a Nicole Mitch
ell Faculty Support Fund, awarded annually at the opening faculty meeting to a t
eacher in each of the four divisions at the school who has demonstrated the “pa
ssion, enthusiasm, optimism, and love for children always shown by Nicole Mitche
ll.”
部分资金将用在他为该校设立的奖学金(Mitchell Family Scholarship Fund)上,用于为幼
稚园到12年级的学生的基本所需提供帮助。
也有部分用在以他母亲命名的教师基金(Nicole Mitchell Faculty Support Fund)上,用于
每年奖励该校四个部门中各部门符合资格的一位老师,跟他的母亲Nicole一样,总是对小孩
保持热心、热情、乐观和爱心。
Additionally, Mitchell’s donation will be used to build “The Determination Ove
r Negativity Mitchell Family Athletic Center.” According to the announcement, i
t will be a “state-of-the-art gymnasium and will house one full court (NCAA reg
ulation court) with full stands on both sides.”
除此之外,资金也将用来建造体育馆(The Determination Over Negativity Mitchell Fami
ly Athletic Center),这将会是最先进的体育馆,并有一个两侧看台的NCAA标准的球场。
“I know how lucky I have been to have the foundation of my education happen her
e at Country Day,” Donovan said via the school’s press release. “This school
has shaped who I am in so many ways, and I feel blessed to be able to give back
and make the Country Day experience available for more kids especially those fro
m inner-city neighborhoods or with backgrounds like mine.
“我知道在这里拥有教育基础有多么幸运。”Mitchell说道,“这间学校成就现在的我,而
我很感激我现在可以回馈了,让更多孩子来学校体验生活,特别是那些来自市中心或是跟我
有相同成长环境的孩子。”
“Over the past few years on my NBA journey, I have made it my mission to champi
on the causes of equity, social justice, and equal opportunity, especially in ed
ucation. There is no better school anywhere to carry forward this mission and my
family is excited to make this happen.”
“在过去NBA的几年里,我的使命就是捍卫公平、社会正义和机会平等,特别是在教育上。
没有比学校更好的地方来实现这些,我的家人也对此感到兴奋。”
During the 2019-20 playoffs in the Orlando bubble, Mitchell became the third pla
yer in NBA history to score 50 or more points twice in a playoff series, joining
Michael Jordan and Allen Iverson.
在2019-20的“泡泡”季后赛,Mitchell继Michael Jordan和Allen Iverson之后,成为史上
第三位在同一个系列赛拿下两次50分以上的球员。
It was a no-brainer for Utah to extend Mitchell, who quickly asserted himself as
a cornerstone of the organization when he was runner-up for the rookie of the y
ear award, to a guaranteed $163 million deal with an incentivized maximum of $19
5 million.
对爵士来说,延长Mitchell的合约很明智。在拿下年度新秀第一队之后,Mitchell很快地成
为爵士的基石,并得到163M的合约,加上激励奖金最高可达195M美金。
“As great an athlete as he was, Donovan was an even nicer young man,” GCDS hea
d Adam Rohdie said of the 2020 NBA All-Star. “He is a man of the highest charac
ter and he has lived his life embodying the Country Day creed of TIGER PRIDE whi
ch asks our students to be kind, empathetic, respectful, thoughtful, and to act
with the highest levels of integrity.”
“Mitchell是个出色的运动员,更是一名优先的年轻人。”该校负责人Adam Rohdie在2020
全明星赛时说道,“他是一个品格高尚的人,他秉持着本校TIGER PRIDE的信条,该精神要
求我们的学生友善、善解人意、尊重、为人着想,并以最高的诚信行事。”
