Hawks guard Trae Young is helping relieve medical debt for hundreds of people in the greater Atlanta area.

Young partnered with RIP Medical Debt to erase over $1 million worth of past-due medical debts for Atlanta area residents, according to WSBTV. He donated $10,000 through his organization, the Trae Young Foundation.

"The city of Atlanta has welcomed me with open arms," Young said. "Giving back to this community is extremely important to me. I hope these families can find a bit of relief knowing that their bills have been taken care of as we enter the new year."

Blessed to have such a Great Team around me to help me make this happen!!
