We recently included a news item about NBA player Adonal Foyle and two others being inducted into World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame. Unlike other Halls of Fame, inductees can keep adding to their great body of work and Adonal is doing just that.
There are several meet-and-greets with Adonal and other NBA players set up for the beginning of the NBA season. The first takes place Oct. 30th when the Orlando Magic take on the New Jersey Nets. Details of the event are below. You can also learn more about Adonal’s foundation and his “tour” at http://www.kerosenelampfoundation.org/.
