Get involved with Boom Dizzle's foundation

Last night I saw Baron Davis at an event for the TeamPlay Foundation, which is a foundation he started to empower kids and connect them with mentors. It's technology-based, which is great because it allows mentors to stay in touch with kids regardless of where they are. Anyway, Baron made it a point to say that no matter where he is playing, that his foundation will always remain in the Bay. He said he wouldn't think of moving it out of the Bay after all the love the Bay has given him. "TeamPlay supports students to develop real dreams for their lives and to take advantage of their educational opportunities to build the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and network necessary to seize those dreams." It's easy to get involved, and anyone who is interested in helping kids should check out the website.
