Living the Green Life

On Thursday, April 5, Atlanta Hawks and Philips Arena team members, as well as a few Hawks players, joined The Home Depot and Trees Atlanta at Freedom Park to plant trees. This was the second year in a row that the Atlanta Hawks teamed with Trees Atlanta and The Home Depot for this project. Together, we planted 40 trees. A generous donation from The Home Depot was used to fund this project and the Atlanta Hawks Foundation made a donation to Trees Atlanta to facilitate future projects to prevent Atlanta's tree loss, create increased green space, and conserve our city's trees.
