Larry Hughes Foundation weekend to raise the roof and awareness

St. Louis American | Kenya Vaughn
“We’re looking to bring everybody together and have fun, but the main thing is to inform people about the importance of organ donation and to raise funds so we can continue actively assisting those in need,” said NBA Star Larry Hughes.

The St. Louis native is almost as well-known for his helping hands as he is for his hooping skills with his acts of giving and supporting worthy causes that date back almost 15 years.

This weekend his alma mater CBC High School has allowed him to host a special two-day affair for the Larry Hughes Foundation. The events will be a fun-filled platform to raise funds for their ongoing organ donation awareness initiative and to finance the random acts of kindness that Hughes and his team can be found doing on any given day.

“The list is still growing as we speak,” Hughes said about the celebs on deck for the weekend. But in the host of events he’s held over the years in the name of the foundation, Hughes has brought plenty of A-listers to the STL.
