The New York Knickerbockers have announced Raymond Mohler, Jr. as the winner of the Sweetwater Clifton "City Spirit" Award for the month of January. The award, named in honor of Nat "Sweetwater" Clifton, who was the first African-American to play for the Knicks, recognizes those who have made a significant difference in the lives of others. Each month, a winner is chosen by members of the Knicks front office staff and honored at center court of a Knicks game. The winner will receive a $2,000 donation in their name to a charity of their choice from the New York Knicks.

Lynbrook, NY-native Raymond Mohler, Jr., 10, founded The Little Saint Nick Foundation in September 2005. His mission is bringing cheer to hospitalized children and relieving their anxiety. Since 2003, his efforts have grown to help sick and underprivileged children by raising more than $250,000 and donating thousands of toys. Raymond, known as "Little St. Nick," visits children in South Nassau Communities Hospital weekly. Many celebrities and athletes have accompanied Raymond during his visits.

At tonight’s game versus the Philadelphia 76ers, Raymond will accept the City Spirit Award at Madison Square Garden. He will donate his award money to The Little Saint Nick Foundation.
