Atlanta Hawks Forward, DeMarre Carroll, Pays Local Gas Bills for the Holidays

Atlanta Hawks forward DeMarre Carroll is paying the December natural gas bills of four personally selected families for the holidays, totaling $1500. The families are all SCANA Energy customers and reside in Atlanta, Douglasville, Ellenwood and Roswell. 

Carroll has been paying the gas bills of families in need each holiday season since his first year in the league in 2009 as a tribute to his grandmother who was a constant example of giving to those in need.

“We are proud to work together in an effort to help our customers enjoy a brighter holiday season this year,” said George Devlin, vice president and general manager of SCANA Energy.

Carroll is the NBA Season of Giving Ambassador for the Atlanta Hawks. The NBA Season of Giving encourages teams and players from around the league to participate in charitable events in their own communities in an effort to brighten the holidays for thousands of children and families across the country.
