Max Strus (Stagg) hosted his first Max Strus Family Foundation event on Monday night.
The event was a bowling outing to bring awareness to his foundation and help raise funds. Strus was joined by his Clevelands Cavaliers teammates at his event.
The Cavs forward has always tried to give back and support the place that mean the most to him whether it is Cleveland, Miami, or Chicago and its surrounding suburbs like his hometown of Hickory Hills.
Events like this bowling outing are just one of many the Max Strus Family Foundation hopes to have to support their efforts in helping others.
SI Now’s Spencer Davies was in attendance for the inaugural BOWL THE LAND event in Cleveland. He put together a nice video highlighting the event on his socials.
