Chris Grant '94 '96 MEdCollege Alumnus Becomes GM of NBA Team
In June 2010, Chris Grant ’94 became the new general manager of the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers, making him the ninth GM in franchise history. The announcement came as no surprise from an organization that has benefited from Grant’s hard work and leadership since he joined the franchise in July 2005. Dan Gilbert, owner of the Cavaliers, said that "Chris is not what you'd call a classic rookie GM. He's very experienced and we feel very good about him. He's very creative and smart and was instrumental in a lot of the things we've done."
Grant assumes this position at a crucial time in the team’s history, and will immediately be tasked with finding a new head coach to replace his former Torero teammate, Mike Brown. Brown and Grant played together on the Torero basketball team in the 1990s under the coaching leadership of current Cavaliers Assistant Coach Hank Egan. Click here for more.

A Plan For The Future With Plenty of Benefits Today: USD’s Deferred Gift Annuity
There are many incentives for Americans to save today in order to meet the financial needs of the future. Retirement plans like the IRA and 401K deliver tax benefits in return for a decision that defers access to income today. A charitable retirement strategy using a Deferred Gift Annuity can do the same thing, providing benefits now while assuring future retirement income.
For more information about deferred gift annuities, please contact USD’s Office of Planned Giving by calling (619) 260-4523 or by clicking here.
This is not legal advice. Any prospective donor should seek the advice of a qualified estate and/or tax professional to determine the consequences of his or her gift. The California Life Insurance Guaranty Association does not back up payments of annuities.
