The Lakers might not be in the NBA Finals, but they are never far from away from the media spotlight. From Ron Artest breaking up fights at the Club, Lamar Kardashian reality show, Mike Brown taking on the one of the best and most stressful coaching jobs in professional sports or trying to calm down rumors of a major trade in the future, the Lakers are always must see tv.
Kobe has been relatively quiet, since they were bounced out of the playoffs, but he and Vanessa are doing something good for the city of Los Angeles.
Lakers guard Kobe Bryant has formed the Kobe and Vanessa Bryant Family Foundation, a nonprofit that aims to reduce homelessness in Los Angeles.
Bryant will hold a news conference Tuesday at My Friend’s Place, a nonprofit resource center that offers free emergency services to about 1,600 homeless people a year, according to its website.
Bryant will explain the initiatives he has planned to reduce homelessness, create permanent housing and provide educational and career resources, which will include raising funds, improving services and working in conjunction with My Friend’s Place.
Good stuff, if we all gave a little not just the rich and famous no one would have to be homeless. Really makes no sense in our society for anyone to be homeless or hungry.
