Marcus and his YounGameChanger Foundation teamed up with PUMA and the DC Police Foundation who do great work with at-risk youth in the DC community. We treated the youth to a shopping trip at the PUMA store and we were joined by author D. Watkins who gifted the adults his book. We are so proud of all the great work being done in the community to make it a better place for our youth.
Thank you to the Washington Wizards for capturing the day.
