I am determined to make sure my kids in Akron have
what they need to become their best selves. Opportunities, a support system,
and a safety net for kids in poverty or kids in single-parent households
shouldn't be limited to those lucky enough to be blessed with athletic talent.
When I entered the league, I founded the LeBron James Family
Foundation. I didn't know it at the time, but my mission has become clear.
We give kids in Akron the resources and opportunities they need to stay in
school and reach their dreams through education.
I don’t want to see any of them fall through the cracks.
That easily could have happened to me.
Being solely a baseball fan, I don't focus much on Mr. James. I am happy to hear that he's using fame and fortune in such a positive manner.
I’m so proud of the more than 1,100 students in my Wheels
for Education and Akron I PROMISE Network programs. We’re working on year six
now, and my kids have big plans for their futures.
A lot of them didn’t think college was for them, but now I
hear they want to become things like doctors and business owners. We even have
a future astrophysicist. I can’t wait to see how far these kids can go.
I also tell all my kids how important it is that they give
back to the community. Because if basketball has taught me anything, it’s that
no one achieves greatness alone. And it takes everyone working together to
create real change.
And that leads to:
I support Hillary because she will build on the legacy of my
good friend, President Barack Obama. I believe in what President Obama has done
for our country and support her commitment to continuing that legacy.
Like my foundation, Hillary has always been a champion for
children and their futures. For over 40 years, she’s been working to improve
public schools, expand access to health care, support children’s hospitals, and
so much more.
Thank you again. Go Cavs!
Yes. LeBron James will always be my hero!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate him giving me something positive to post. I'm so sick of Trump's stupidity. And he's like a walking Gish Gallop. There's so much wrong that you can put up that it's just disconcerting.
