LeBron James’ generous initiative – Wheels for Education

LeBron once featured on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. He shared the way he looks at people and how he always helps his community. LeBron once talked about helping his community and children in a sports forum. Trevor Noah asked him about the need for him to speak up about something like this. LeBron said that it comes to him naturally.

LeBron’s initiative Wheels for Education focuses on 3rd graders mainly so Trevor asked the reason.

LeBron answered, “We read up on it and the statistics show that if kids get behind in the third grade then it’s the least amount of chance for them to graduate high school. And so that’s why we started in third grade. Yesterday was my LeBron James Family Foundation reunion, where we welcome another third grade class into our program. This is our sixth year and it was unbelievable. If anybody has ever come to Ohio and been to Sandusky, Ohio, and been to the great Cedar Point Amusement Park, I brought 5,000 families yesterday to the amusement park for our reunion.”

“It just comes natural to me and you know, for me personally, I know where I come from. Growing up in inner city in Akron, Ohio, and I know the challenges that kids have. For our society to become as great as it should be, I think it starts from the ground up. It starts in our communities, our own communities, going back into our communities, using our resources, using our knowledge. So it just comes natural to me and understand what they go through. I walked the same streets as them, I breathed the same air as those kids. I know what they go through growing up in tough situations. So I think it’s very important for all of us.”
