Flagg has donated his time to charitable fundraising events for a variety of causes. His AAU team hosted an exhibition game this past summer to raise money with proceeds going to the Donovan Kurt Memorial Cancer Fund, an organization dedicated to helping families pay for medical expenses incurred while fighting childhood cancers. Donovan was a childhood friend of Flagg’s who lost his battle to brain cancer in November 2022. Flagg also participated in a fundraiser for Ronald McDonald House Charities, with which the Flagg family has a personal connection.
