Giving back to his high school was a slam-dunk decision for NBA star Immanuel Quickley.

The standout point guard for the Toronto Raptors announced the establishment of the Quickley Family Foundation in a March 25 ceremony at his high school alma mater, The John Carroll School in Bel Air.

The foundation will provide the Immanuel Quickley Scholarship Awards with up to five student-athletes annually receiving free tuition for outstanding academic and athletic achievements at the Harford County Catholic school.

Academic leaders, former coaches, teachers and Quickley helped launch the Quickley Family Foundation at the ceremony. The foundation is a charitable initiative dedicated to “celebrating family, faith and giving back to the local community.”

Quickley, a 2018 John Carroll graduate, is a key player for the Raptors, a member of the NBA’s Eastern Conference. He is averaging 17.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists for Toronto. The 6-foot-2 guard played two seasons at Kentucky after leading John Carroll to the Baltimore Catholic League title in 2018. 

Drafted in the first round (25th overall) by the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2020, he was traded quickly to the New York Knicks. In four seasons with the Knicks, the Havre de Grace native  established himself as one of the best guards in the NBA, averaging 12.9 points and 3.0 assists.

In December 2023, the Knicks traded Quickley to the Raptors where he has blossomed into one of the top ball distributors in the league. He earned a five-year, $175 million contract on July 8, 2024.

The 25-year-old has been limited to 31 games this season because of early-season injuries, but he has scored in double figures in each of his past five games, including a 21-point, 7-assist effort against the Washington Wizards March 24.

Quickley said his education at John Carroll played a pivotal role in his success on and off the court.

“Education has always been a cornerstone of my family’s values,” Quickley said at the John Carroll event. “I wouldn’t be where I am today without the support of my teachers, coaches and community. It’s an honor to give back to the school that shaped me and to support students who are striving for excellence both in the classroom and on the field.”

The Immanuel Quickley Scholarship Awards are designed to provide financial and academic support to students who have demonstrated achievements both in and out of the classroom. 

Quickley said his commitment to supporting education is deeply rooted in his family’s values. His mother, Nitrease Quickley, is an educator, and she said the Quickley family has always placed a high priority on the power of a solid education. Additionally, faith plays a central role in the Quickley family’s philanthropic efforts, and the foundation’s mission is to “pay it forward” and make a meaningful impact on students in need.
