John Wall spent his Monday morning at Bright Beginnings, Inc., a child-care group in Washington D.C., bringing more than a smile.
The Wizards guard reportedly made a $400,000 donation to the organization, which will go toward the opening of a second center in southeast D.C. The group serves children and families living in crisis shelters or transitional housing.
"It is evident that John Wall is sensitive and concerned about the plight of homeless children in D.C., and he wants these children to succeed," Bright Beginnings executive director Dr. Betty Jo Gaines said in a statement.
The organization announced the news in a Facebook post:
On the court, Wall looks poised for a big year. He said during the Wizards' 2015 media day he is ready to put last season's playoff loss behind him.
