About the CP3 Foundation
As an NBA rookie, Chris Paul made the decision to remain a visible and active part of the Greater Winston-Salem, North Carolina community. He is committed to using his stature and profile to give back to the community that supported him, and to the high school and university that launched his basketball career. During the summer of 2005, Chris initiated a philanthropic campaign designed to highlight his dedication to the Winston-Salem community that nurtured him from his days as a stand-out high school student athlete to a national star at Wake Forest. These efforts included the refurbishment of basketball courts at the Rupert Bell Recreation Center in East Winston-Salem in 2005.

His committment to giving back to his community also led to the 1st Annual Chris Paul's Winston-Salem Weekend. The CP3 Foundation is a donor-advised fund administered by The Winston-Salem Foundation.
