Re: CP3 foundation news
Paul putting more than money into charity work
Professional athletes are a charitable bunch, by and large.
They know they are fortunate to be professional athletes, and most of them know the value of giving back to the community in some form.
There are some knuckleheads and downright idiots who are professional athletes, of course, and you read about them almost every day. But that’s true of sportswriters, sportscasters, sports-page readers and people in all other walks of life, too.
This weekend, the focus in Winston-Salem will turn away from professional sports’ knuckleheads to professional sports’ do-gooders, and the good being done by them.
It will start on Thursday, in reality, when several of Chris Paul’s teammates from the New Orleans Hornets and friends from around the NBA start arriving to participate in the 2007 Chris Paul’s Winston-Salem Weekend.
Tyson Chandler, Rudy Gay, Andre Iguodala, Bobby Jackson, Raymond Felton, Sean May and Byron Scott are among those who will be in town for the three-day festival, which Paul started last year after his rookie season with the Hornets.
