The countless hours he gives to charitable and community service causes, well, he would rather that stay under the radar. 如果枪蜥能够自己选择，他宁愿只因球场上的表现获得肯定。至於他在社区服务等公 益事务上付出的无数时间，嗯，他宁愿默默行善而不为人知。 Sorry, Chauncey. 抱歉枪蜥，你早就被盯上了。 The Professional Basketball Writers Association have taken note of his community service and have bestowed on him the oldest sportsmanship and community service honor, the annual J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award. 职业篮球作家联盟已经注意到他在社区服务方面的贡献并把历史最为悠久的运动精神 兼社区服务奖 - 一年一度的James Walter Kennedy公民奖 - 颁发给他。 "It's a great award," Billups said before Monday's game. "The thing about stuff like that, doing charity work and having a big heart, you never do it for the accolades. You do it for the kids. "这是一个不得了的大奖，"星期一的赛前枪蜥说。"类似那样的事，为公益事业付出并 拥有宽阔的胸襟，你绝不会是为了沽名钓誉而去做那些事。你只是单纯地希望为孩子们略 尽绵薄之力。" "You try and teach kids a better way than the alternative, which is being in the neighborhood doing bad things, and getting bad results. It's good to be recognized for it, but at the same time, that's not why you do it." "你尝试去教导孩子在面临抉择时能做出较适当的决定，而非在邻近社区干些下三滥勾 当并因此锒铛入狱。我很高兴所做之事受到肯定，不过那并非我做这些事的目的。" Billups maintains an active list of community services projects, primarily for underprivileged kids, in Detroit, Minneapolis and his hometown of Denver. 枪蜥仍持续参与了在底特律、明尼亚波利斯，以及他老家丹佛等地，基本上为了贫穷 儿童而设的社区服务计画。 In Detroit, he has been involved in the Childrens Center Annual Celebrity Golf Classic the past three years.

Billups takes part in a three-week camp each summer with students, promoting leadership, critical thinking, team work and conflict resolution skills. 但枪蜥公益事业的颠峰造极之作是位於丹佛的波特-枪蜥领导者学院，一个为了能让孩 子做好上大学准备的学术营队。枪蜥每年夏天都会和学生共度为期三周的营队以提升学生 的领袖特质、关键想法、团队合作以及冲突化解技巧。 Graduates of the program who are accepted to Regis University receive Porter-Billups Academy scholarships. 能顺利通过计画课程的学生就能进入认可波特-枪蜥领导者学院学位的Regis大学就读 。 In February, Billups brought 10 of the academy's top students to a game in Detroit and also gave them a tour of the Charles H.
