The annual American Century Golf Championship is a televised event that raises money for various charities. ⁣

Curry has shown continuous support for the Black Lives Matter movement, and the shoes will be used to support the organization. ⁣

“Anytime you have an opportunity to be on a stage or a platform to raise awareness and continue the conversation that’s going on in our country, I’m all for that. We’ll send these to the Black Lives Matter organization,” Curry said.” Hopefully, they’ll raise a lot of money for the amazing work that they’re doing.”⁣

“We all have roles to play in terms of changing the racial climate in our country,” Curry continued. “And this is definitely more than just a moment that we’re feeling. And hopefully, this is a very small gesture, but hopefully, the money goes a long way. And hopefully, they continue the conversation of what needs to change all the way around.”⁣

26-year-old Breonna Taylor was shot eight times by Louisville police officers executing a search warrant on March 13. Despite the country’s outcry for justice for Breonna, Lousiville District Attorney Daniel Cameron has yet to file any criminal charges against the officers involved.
