This is great stuff from Kevin Durant.
You have to be able to separate the sport from the person and as a person, KD is doing amazing things for the community.
Here are the details.
Golden State small forward Kevin Durant will open “The Durant Center” on Wednesday– a new facility in his hometown of Prince George County, Md. that is aimed at helping low-income and underserved students enroll and graduate from college.
The after-school center will open with an inaugural class of 69 local students, who will be offered various academic, financial and social-emotional resources to aid college and career development. The center was created in partnership with College Track, an organization that uses a 10-year plan to help students from their early teenage years through college graduation by providing tutoring services and funds for college scholarships.
The nine-time NBA All-Star has pledged $10 million to College Track over the program’s first decade. Durant decided to collaborate with the organization after visiting a College Track center in Oakland, Calif. The Durant Center will open as home to College Track’s first site on the East Coast.
Once again amazing work from KD and he should be applauded for it.
