Quote:

He wasn't content simply donating his time on Christmas and Thanksgiving Day, so in 2007 he decided to work with the Children's Law Center's Adopt a Family Christmas Drive to adopt a Washington, D.C. family and provide them with gifts during the holidays. In 2008 and 2009, Green partnered with Quality Trust for Individuals with Disabilities Family EMPOWERment Center, allowing him to deliver gifts to his adopted family in-person and to spend part of the day with them. His actions led to the Capitals' organization adopting 25 families in 2009 through the Salvation Army's Angel Tree Program.

Green also is the co-founder of So Kids Can, a fund-raising initiative that benefits a different youth-focused, non-profit organization each year. He donates $100 for every goal he scores and $50 for each assist and the figures are doubled during the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Thats awesome. I love that some of these people really get out there and help their communities. Butler (if he does well in Ottawa) will probably be that type of guy!
