For Magic Johnson, this adds to his post-basketball career trophy case. We all know the work he has done in Los Angeles with his Starbucks locations and Magic Johnson theaters. Teaching young adults the value of hard work and giving them the opportunity to learn all aspects of business.
“I encourage young people across the country to get their education,” Johnson said. “Knowledge is something that can never be taken away from them.”
We at Dodgers Nation are proud to support an organization that have leaders who want to make our community better.
Today we honor four incredible #CaringAdults for their work w/ #youth! https://t.co/gmiFA52Bvm #PromiseNight pic.twitter.com/RwF5FGRWrZ
