Damian Lillard has made a big name for himself in the NBA, but he’s also leaving a legacy behind that is more than just basketball. In 2012-2013, when Lillard was a rookie, he launched the RESPECT program that now partners with three Portland area high schools, encouraging students to show up, work hard and be kind.
Recently, Oakley announced a partnership with Damian Lillard, and as part of that partnership they will be donating $140,000 to Lillard’s RESPECT program. Lillard was pictured wearing Oakley’s newly re-released X Metal Romeo and Juliet frames prior to the Golden State Warriors game earlier this week.
