Kevin Durant, Houston's Trill Burgers team up for Texas flood relief
Starting August 15 and lasting for a week, a burger and t-shirt featuring Kevin Durant's likeness will be available at Houston's Trill Burgers.
Rapper Bun B, who has long been known for his dedication to Houston,is collaborating with newly acquired Rockets star Kevin Durant for a limited time promotion at Trill Burgers.
Starting Friday, August 15, and lasting for a week, the 'Easy Money Burger' and 'Easy Money T-Shirt' — in reference to the All-Star forward's nickname — will be available at the two Houston-area locations of Trill Burgers (co-founded by Bun B). The shirt can also be purchased online.
Proceeds will benefit flood relief for the Texas Hill Country, which suffered devastating damage and loss of life during the July 4 holiday weekend.
'We wanted to do something to make his introduction to the city meaningful,' Bun B said of his new partnership with the NBA star. The two are longtime friends.
Dating back to his college days, Durant has extensive ties to the region and state. Houston's CW 39 (KIAH) has more:
The Easy Money Burger was created using all of the player's favorite burger toppings: ketchup, mayo, pickles and American cheese. Each burger will also be served with custom packaging with imagery that represents Durant's basketball career at the University of Texas.
'This partnership is dedicated to the Central Texas Hill Country area, where KD played college basketball,' Bun B said. 'We wanted to create something that will give back to the community Kevin is connected with and so passionate about, and we hope to provide meaningful support for our Texas neighbors as we all work together to recover from this devastating flooding.'
'Collaboration is the true essence of community,' Durant wrote in a story published on his personal Instagram page. He expressed appreciation to Bun B and Trill Burgers for the opportunity.
