The John Wall Family Foundation is asking for everyone to join in and assist with Ms. Alvarado’s Amazon wishlist. By clicking this link you will see what's needed in her classroom > Ms. Alvarado’s Amazon wishlist <

As a father of two and a current college student, Wall understands the importance of Teachers everywhere and especially in his hometown. The John Wall Family Foundation's mission is to improve the quality of life for disadvantaged families and impact the lives of at-risk youth through mentorship, education and physical activity. And they have been doing just that across the U.S. in Washington, D.C., Houston, Texas, Los Angeles, California and Raleigh, North Carolina.

As the playoffs are underway it's still wild to think John Wall is currently a free agent and not a part of a NBA team. We're happy to see that his spirits are up as he helps those in need and cheers on his friends and former teammates in the league as they continue to excel in the NBA.
