Villanueva Receives Community Assist Award for February

More accolades for this week’s Bald Man of the Week. From NBA.com:

In recognition of Charlie Villanueva’s outstanding efforts in the community, and for his on-going philanthropic work, the NBA announced today it will honor the Toronto Raptors forward with the Community Assist Award for the month of February.

Villanueva has embraced his condition and acts as a role model for many people, accepting and embracing his differences and encouraging others to do the same. He was named the National Alopecia Areata Foundation (NAAF) spokesperson in July 2005 and has been working with the organization since early 2004. As part of his work with NAAF, he has reached out to as many children affected by Alopecia Areata as he can. (link)
