NBA All-Star and Prince George’s County native Kevin Durant is making this holiday season a very special one.
Kevin Durant and the Durant Family Foundation committed $500,000 in donations to Bowie State University to renovate the basketball arena in the Leonidas S. James Physical Education Complex. The donation will install a new basketball court at the university, expand the seating capacity, and upgrade the bleachers, and the broadcasting capabilities from the press box.
The Durant Family Foundation is a non-profit organization founded in 2013 by Kevin Durant. The mission of the foundation is to enrich the lives of at-risk youth from low-income backgrounds through education, athletic and social programs, the foundation said in a statement.
Wanda Durant, Kevin’s mother, presented the donation to the school where she remembers bringing him to play basketball as a teen. Kevin Durant, she said, wanted the community of Prince George’s County to know that he will never forget where he came from.
