Jason Paul Collins was a groundbreaking basketball player and LGBTQ+ advocate best known as the first active openly gay male athlete in any major American professional sports league. Born in Northridge, California, Collins played with his twin brother, Jarron, in high school and at Stanford University before being drafted into the NBA in 2001. Across a 13-season career, he developed a reputation as a dependable defender for teams including the New Jersey Nets, Atlanta Hawks, Boston Celtics, and Washington Wizards. On April 29, 2013, Collins made history by publicly coming out in a cover essay for Sports Illustrated. Following his retirement in late 2014, Collins dedicated himself to full-time advocacy. Serving as a prominent NBA Cares Ambassador, he led education and inclusion programs across professional basketball to dismantle homophobic locker-room cultures and foster welcoming environments for future athletes. Outside the league, he worked closely with civil rights organizations, lobbied for LGBTQ+ rights legislation, and regularly headlined Pride events nationwide. For his pioneering activism, Collins was named to TIME’s 100 Most Influential People in 2014 and earned numerous honors, including the GLSEN Courage Award, the Point Foundation Leadership Award, and a posthumous ESPY Arthur Ashe Award for Courage. He passed away at age 47 on May 12, 2026, from complications of brain cancer, leaving behind a legacy as a trailblazer who redefined representation in professional sports.

Dr. Kathy Hull is a Bay Area clinical psychologist and the pioneering founder of George Mark Children’s House (GMCH), the first freestanding, independent pediatric palliative care facility in the United States. While working with pediatric oncology patients and families at Children’s Hospital Oakland, now UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland, Kathy saw the unmet need for exceptional medical care provided in a nurturing, home-like setting, with support for the entire family. Kathy founded and opened GMCH in San Leandro in 2004. The house is named after her brothers, George and Mark, whose deaths at young ages shaped her commitment to pursuing a career that offers comfort and honors relationships. Kathy remains deeply involved as GMCH’s staff psychologist and is a current member of its Board of Directors, helping the organization expand its services to a continuum that includes respite, transitional, end-of-life care, and bereavement support. She also advances pediatric palliative care through clinical education, mentoring, and public speaking. Her 2016 TedWomen talk has received more than one million views. Her honors include being the recipient of the Minerva Award from the State of California, being named a Purpose Prize Fellow, the Junior League of the East Bay Sustainer of the year, a California Senate Local Hero, and, most recently, receiving an Honorary Doctorate from Santa Clara University. The Warriors and PG&E would like to thank you for your contributions to the community.
