Let’s Be More like LeBron

LeBron James once stated, “Ever since I was a kid, I was a winner.” He is now ensuring 1,100 deserving kids have the opportunity to be winners too. Winners in education, that is.  By way of a recent $42 million pledge, James is funding scholarships for students who are part of his foundation program to attend the University of Akron. A University partnership, a powerful business partnership with help from JP Morgan Chase, and personal generosity — this is philanthropy with style, strategy and impact. An all-star combo.
