ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J. — Unilever deodorant brand Degree is donating $10,000 in the name of brand partner and NBA league MVP Stephen Curry of the world champion Golden State Warriors to ThanksUSA, a nonprofit that provides college, technical and vocational school need-based scholarships for the children and spouses of U.S. military personnel.

Curry, who has served as the national spokesman for Thanks­USA since 2010, has partnered with Degree for the past two years, most recently helping to launch the new Degree Dry Spray Antiperspirant at the NBA All-Star game in New York City.

“We are excited to celebrate Stephen Curry’s record-breaking season and support a great cause that he is passionate about,” stated Matthew McCarthy, senior director of deodorants and men’s grooming at Unilever North America. “Degree is providing this donation in Stephen’s name to show how proud we are of his incredible accomplishments this year.”

Over the past five years, Curry’s work and advocacy for ThanksUSA have raised over $160,000 for a total of 56 scholarships benefiting the spouses and children of active-duty members of the military.

“Supporting military personnel and their families through ThanksUSA has been an amazing experience for me,” Curry said in a statement. “Family and education have played, and continue to play, a huge part in my life. I am so grateful for the sacrifices these honorable men and women make each day. This donation will benefit future students throughout the country, and I am very appreciative that Degree would partner with me for such a worthwhile cause.”

Along with being named MVP, Curry set a new NBA playoff record for 3-pointers while leading the Warriors to the NBA title.

“Stephen’s support in providing scholarships for military families has been a game changer, improving dozens of lives through education,” commented ThanksUSA chair and chief executive officer Bob Okun. “Today’s generous contribution by Degree is another resounding ‘thank you’ to our service men and women for their sacrifice.”
