https://reurl.cc/mpRqEl 记者：Noa Dalzell 部分AI直接机翻 Jaylen Brown and Jrue Holiday are teaming up one more timeThrough their Boston A ccelerator Fund, Jaylen Brown, Jrue, and Lauren Holiday are investing another $1 million in a second cohort of entrepreneurs and creators in the Greater Boston Area 杰伦与假日再次携手合作 透过杰伦/假日及他的老婆的基金会 将再次投入100万美元 资助大波士顿地区的 第二批创业家与创作者 BOSTON — Jrue Holiday’s two-year tenure in Boston technically ended in May. Af ter he was traded from the Celtics to the Trail Blazers, Jrue and his wife, Laur en, packed up their family and moved to Portland, where the two-time NBA champio n would join a younger, up-and-coming squad hoping to punch their first ticket t o the playoffs since 2021 (spoiler alert: on Tuesday, they did just that). 假日在波士顿的两年职业生涯 「技术上」早已结束 在他被交易到拓荒者後 假日与他的妻子举家搬至波特兰 这位两次冠军球队成员 加入了一支年轻正在往上爬的球队 希望能帮他们自21年後 再一次重返季後赛（他们真的做到了） But, though they physically left the city last summer, the Holidays’ off-court impact in Boston hasn’t waned. In fact, their philanthropic collaboration with Jaylen Brown — which started a year and a half ago — is only growing. 虽然假日夫妇去年夏天离开这座城市 但他们场外影响力并未减弱 事实上他们与杰伦在一年半前 展开的合作反而日益壮大 How Jrue Holiday impacted Boston in two years Holiday only spent two years in Bo ston, but it’s hard to describe his stint as anything other than a massive succ ess. After earning All-Defensive honors and shooting a career-high 42.9% from th ree in the Celtics’ title year, he served as a pivotal part of the dominant 202 4 championship run, responsible for key steals and defensive stops. 假日在波士顿这两年的影响力 假日波士顿仅待了两年 但很难用「巨大成功」以外的词 来形容这段旅程 在塞尔提克夺冠的那一年 他入选了年度防守阵容 并投出了生涯最高的42.9%三分命中率 成为24年那次夺冠历程中的关键拼图 多次完成关键抄截与防守阻截 But off the court, his impact in the city extended even deeper than his on-court play, though much of his philanthropic involvement flew under the radar. Just a few months after the successful title run, Jaylen Brown, Jrue Holiday, and Laur en Holiday together launched the Boston Creator Accelerator, an incubator aimed at supporting underrepresented entrepreneurs in the Greater Boston Area. 但在场外 他在这座城市的影响力 甚至比场上表现更深远 尽管许多慈善活动并未引起太大关注 在成功夺冠仅几个月後 杰伦与假日夫妇共同启动了 「波士顿创作者加速器」 这是一个旨在支持大波士顿地区 弱势创业家的孵化计画。 The Accelerator provided 10 creators with monetary grants totaling $1 million — as well as mentorship, resources, and direct access to Brown and the Holidays. 该基金会为10位创作者 提供了总计100万美元的资助金 并提供导师指导、资源支持 以及与杰伦及假日夫妇直接交流的机会 Year 1 of the partnership was an undeniable success. The Boston Creator Accelera tor invested in ten startups, including the: Future Master Chess Academy, a ches s academy for underserved communities that focuses on lifelong skills; Little Co coa Bean Company, a cafe that creates culturally diverse and nutritious food for toddlers and kids; PYNRS, a streetwear-inspired performance running apparel com pany, and Everybody Gotta Eat, a food culture and catering company, among others . Brown, who launched Boston XChange last season in hopes of supporting entreprene urs from underrepresented communities, was thrilled to collaborate with the Holi days. 这项夥伴关系的第一年 取得了无庸置疑的成功 这项计画投资了十家新创企业 其中包括：Future Master Chess Academy（一家为弱势社区开设、专注於培养终身技能的 西洋棋学院）；Little Cocoa Bean Company（一家为幼儿和儿童制作文化多元且营养丰富 食品的咖啡馆）；PYNRS（一家受街头服饰启发的专业跑步装备公司）；以及 Everybody Go tta Eat（一家推广饮食文化与提供外烩服务的公司等。 杰伦在上个赛季启动慈善计画 希望能支持来自弱势社区的创业家 他对於能与假日夫妇合作感到非常兴奋 “Sometimes, you’re asking other guys, they’ve been advised not to be involved because of whatever reason, I don’t know,” Brown said last season. “But Jrue and Lauren Holiday are great people. They’ve been doing this everywhere they g o.” It’s true: The Jrue and Lauren Holiday Foundation has operated in five cities s ince its launch in 2020: Los Angeles (Jrue’s hometown), Indianapolis (Lauren’s hometown), New Orleans (where Jrue played for seven years), Milwaukee (where Jr ue won his first NBA title), and, now, in Boston. In its first four years, the fund awarded grants of $25,000 to $50,000 to more t han 150 Black-owned businesses and charities, while providing mentorship and res ources that oftentimes far exceeded the financial support. Since launching, the monetary investment and hands-on support have continued to grow. 「有时候，你去邀请其他人参与，他们可能因为各种原因被建议不要介入，我也不清楚具体 情况，」杰伦在上个赛季表示。「但假日夫妇人真的很好，不论他们走到哪，都在持续做这 件事。」 事实的确如此：自 2020 年成立以来 假日夫妇的基金会 已在五个城市运作： 洛杉矶（假日的家乡） 印第安纳（假日老婆的家乡） 纽奥良（假日效力过七年的地方） 密尔瓦基（假日赢得首座冠军的地方 以及现在的波士顿 在成立的前四年 该基金已向超过150家非裔拥有的企业 提供了2.5-5万美元不等的资助金 同时该计画提供的导师指导与资源支持 其价值往往远超资金援助 自启动以来无论是资金投入 还是实务支持都持续在成长。 Though Jrue Holiday now lives in Portland, he’s investing in yet another Boston Accelerator Fund co-hort For Lawyer Times, a lifelong chess player and instructor who had doubled as a po st office worker for more than 40 years, the financial investment allowed him to retire from his day job and go all-in on the Future Masters Chess Academy. Lawy er’s wife, Angela, credits Brown and the Holidays for their unwavering belief i n the vision. “The Holidays have such a giving spirit,” Angela Times said. “They just want to create community and bring people together.” Since joining the Boston Creator Accelerator, the Academy’s annual revenue incr eased from $50,000 to $300,000, said Renee King, who helps lead the Jrue and Lau ren Holiday Fund. “They all attribute it to the training the village that was wrapped around them , with the resources from all of the partners,” King said. 尽管假日现在住在波特兰 但他仍持续投资於新一期的波士顿基金 对於一位拥有 40 多年邮局员工经验 同时也是终身西洋棋手兼教练的 Lawyer Time来说 这笔资金让他能够从日常工作中退休 全心投入「未来大师西洋棋学院」 他与他的妻Angela将这一切 归功於杰伦与假日夫妇 对这份愿景坚定不移的支持。 「假日夫妇拥有一种乐於奉献的精神，」 「他们只是想建立社群并将人们凝聚在一起。」 假日夫妇基金会的负责人之一 Renee King表示自从加入此计画後 该学院的年营收已从5万美元 增长至现在的30万美元。 「他们都将这归功於身边这群『共同体』所提供的培训，以及来自所有合作夥伴的资源支持 ，」 The initial cohort’s success has compelled Brown and the Holidays to bring in a n additional cohort for Year 2. With the playoffs around the corner, they’re to gether investing another $1 million into ten businesses, with applications closi ng on April 21st. Urina Harrell, the CEO of Vox Pop Branding, has long worked on the marketing sid e of the JLH Fund. “This is a true partnership between the JLH Fund and the Boston XChange,” she said. King said that Jrue and Lauren never considered ending their investment in the B oston community just because he was traded. 第一批成员的成功 促使杰伦与假日夫妇决定 在第二年引进新的一批成员 随着季後赛即将到来 他们将共同再次投入100万美元 用来资助十家企业 申请截止日期为4月21日 Vox Pop Branding的执行长 Urina Harrell长期负责基金的行销工作 她表示：「这是 JLH 基金与 Boston XChange 之间真正的夥伴关系。」 King则提到假日夫妇从未因为他被交易 就考虑终止对波士顿社区的投资 “Their ethos has always been any city that we are, that we’ve inducted into th e JLH, we’re still locked into those cities, regardless of if they’re there to play,” King said. “They’re just used to the fact of like, this is what they were put here for, right? They come in, they touch lives, and then they go; they get pulled to another place, to do the same. We were still going to be locked i n on Boston.” 「他们的精神始终如一：任何我们待过并纳入 JLH 基金会版图的城市，无论他是否还在那 里打球，我们都会持续深耕，」 基金会共同创办人King如此说道 「他们已经习惯了这件事，就像这就是他们的使命，对吧？他们来到一个地方，触动人们的 生命，然後离开；接着被带往另一个地方，去做同样的事情。我们依然会坚守在波士顿。」 Jrue Holiday and Jaylen Brown have influenced lawmakers on Capitol Hill 假日与杰伦的影响力 已触及国会山庄的立法者 The Boston Creator Accelerator could have ramifications that extend far beyond t he city; the start-up has also helped inform a new piece of legislation that is pending in Congress, the SPARK Act to Supercharge Minority Entrepreneurship Nati onwide. The bill, introduced in February, is meant to spur entrepreneurship and increase access to capital and resources for underserved entrepreneurs nationwid e. 「波士顿创作者加速器」的影响力 可能远超出这座城市 这项新创计画同时也协助完善了 一项国会待审的新法案《激发法案》 旨在加强全国少数族裔的创业精神 这项於二月提交的法案 意在激励创业动能 并增加全国弱势创业家 获取资金与资源的管道。 “Yes, this is a great pilot. But, the work that’s being done here is being use d to shape policy, and we know once we shape policy, then that’s the bigger rip ple effect, right?” King said. “Like, we can help more people, because that’s the goal. The goal is to have more people coming together to help more business es that are creating solutions that all of our entire world needs.” 「是的，这是一个很棒的试点计画。但是，这里正在进行的工作正被用来形塑政策，而我们 都知道，一旦政策成形，那将产生更大的涟漪效应，对吧？」 「如此一来我们能帮助更多人，因为这才是终极目标。我们的目标是让更多人聚集在一起， 帮助更多正在为全世界创造解决方案的企业。」 For now, Boston will continue to benefit from the athletes’ private investment. And, King said it’s been a wonderful city to work in, in large part because of how collaborative the partners that Brown and the Holidays have brought in have been. That list includes 波士顿将继续从杰伦与假日的私人投资中获益。King表示波士顿是一个非常棒的工作城市， 很大程度上是因为杰伦与假日夫妇引进的合作夥伴们展现了极高的协作精神。 “You have so many folks who are just willing to work together, from government, private institutions, the athletes — it was a very good ethos,” King said. “ It was a great place for this pilot to launch, to grow it, because you had so ma ny things within that space that you could pull together. And the energy from ev eryone, the community around pulling it together was really great.” Applications close on April 21st, and interested entrepreneurs can apply here. “We’re looking forward to adding more people to the family,” King said. 「你有这麽多愿意共同努力的人，从政府、私人机构到运动员——这展现了一种非常良好的 精神特质，」金说道。「这里是启动这项试点计画并使其成长的绝佳地点，因为在这个空间 里有太多可以整合的资源。而且每个人的能量，以及整个社群凝聚在一起的氛围都非常棒。 」 申请将於 4 月 21 日截止，有兴趣的创业家可以点此申请。 「我们期待为这个大家庭增添更多成员，」金表示。 The Trail Blazers’ playoff run begins on Sunday against the San Antonio Spurs. As the team’s fourth-leading scorer, Holiday will be a crucial part of the team ’s upset chances. Across the country, the Celtics begin their playoff run the v ery same day. But Jrue Holiday and the city of Boston will forever be linked — even if the Ha ll of Fame guard never again dons Celtics green. “Once you’re in the family, you’re always in the family,” King said. “That ’s literally the ethos.” 拓荒者队的季後赛征程将於周日展开 首战对上圣安东尼奥马刺队 身为队内得分第四高的球员 假日将是球队寻求爆冷胜出的关键核心 而在国家的另一端 塞尔提克队也将在同一天 开启他们的季後赛之旅 尽管这位名人堂级别的後卫 可能再也不会穿上塞尔提克的绿色球衣 但假日与波士顿这座城市 将永远连结在一起 「一旦你成为家庭的一员，就永远是家人，」King感性地说。「这就是我们真正的核心精神 。」 短评或心得： 假日真的不管场上场下都让人尊重 即便已经离开赛尔提克 依旧跟杰伦合作做波士顿慈善回馈 帮助一些正在起步的创业者 --
