JOHN WALL'S GIVING
A Washington, D.C., charity that provides educational services for homeless children got a big boost over the weekend in the form of a $400,000 donation from Wizards star John Wall. The Bright Beginnings center currently serves around 162 children a day in the nation’s capital, and hopes to open a second facility, which would allow it to help another 100 children in need, thanks in part to Wall’s generous gift.
