OKLAHOMA CITY –
Oklahoma City Thunder center Chet Holmgren hosted a Thanksgiving dinner for foster families this week as part of the team’s long-running Holiday Assist program.
The annual gathering featured face painting, T-shirt designing and games for children before families sat down for a holiday meal. Holmgren said organizers continue to adjust the event as it grows each year.
“I just feel like every year we learn what works, what doesn’t work, how to make things better. We just keep trying to make it better, make it more fun for all.”
About the Holiday Assist program
Holiday Assist includes more than three dozen Thunder community events scheduled throughout the season, with players and staff volunteering across the Oklahoma City metro.
What’s next for the Thunder
The Thunder return to the court tonight to face the Portland Trail Blazers at Paycom Center. Portland is the only team to beat Oklahoma City this season. Tipoff is set for 6 p.m.
