Foundation Board Member and Former Trail Blazer Bobby Gross presented with Enforcer Award

By

On September 21, 2018 Executive Director David Lucas and former NBA players Bill Walton and Lionel Hollins presented the foundation’s annual Maurice Lucas Enforcer Award to former Trail Blazer player and current foundation board member Bobby Gross.

The award is given annually to an individual who best embodies many of the characteristics that its namesake displayed both on and off the basketball court, including motivating and empowering kids. Walton and Hollins, who played with Gross on the Blazers’ 1977 championship team, are among the award’s past recipients.

It models, teaches, mentors, coaches and counsels students from middle school through high school – and beyond. It is building resilient citizens and leaders through its academic, character and physical development programs.

Maurice Lucas had a storied 14-year career in professional basketball, but off the court is where he built his legacy. Maurice passed away Oct. 31, 2010, at age 58.

Our kids were offered a spot at a private school this fall. I think one of the biggest deciding factors in keeping our daughter at Tubman this year was your program. Time consuming as it may be, she really felt that her academic success last year came from the help she received at ML. Thanks for all you do.”
