Brooklyn Nets wing Allen Crabbe donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Price Schools, a private Christian school in South Los Angeles founded by his grandparents.
Michelle Covington and her daughter Mila get shirts signed by Nets guard Allen Crabbe Wednesday at a court-naming ceremony in his honor at Crenshaw Christian Center. Crabbe recently made a six-figure donation to Frederick K.C. Price III Christian Schools, which his grandparents founded.
“Something like that [contract] can definitely change up your life,” Crabbe said on Wednesday, as the Price Schools honored his “mid-six figures” donation. “My first two years in the NBA weren’t always glitz and glamour. I wondered if I was going to be out of the NBA. My family preached to me, through the hardship and tough times, that God always has your back. The money has been a blessing, not just for me but because of the impact I’ve been able to have. This is a family commitment.
Evans fought back tears as she detailed the school’s stellar graduation rate and recounted her nephew’s impromptu generosity. “It was going to be curtains,” Evans said, describing a June 2018 meeting when she informed board members that the school’s future was threatened by an insurmountable budget shortfall. As the grim proceedings continued, Crabbe’s mother reached out to him by text message.
The school’s leaders recently produced a music video, starring its students, to further recruitment efforts, and they hope Crabbe’s gift will raise awareness of Price’s mission and potentially inspire other donors. While the $7,000 annual high school tuition represents a fraction of what other LA private schools charge, Cheryl Price said that the school must overcome preconceptions about its Vermont Knolls location. The area, which was hit hard by the 1992 riots, remains one of L.A.
