Former University of Maryland men’s basketball champion and longtime NBA veteran Chris Wilcox is changing kids’ lives — and not through the game of basketball.
After finishing his NBA career after the 2012-13 season due to heart problems, Wilcox started Helping EveryDay Youth (HEDY), a program that provides educational and community resources for underserved youth.
“Basically what my company does is rebuild the community with the community,” Wilcox said on Glenn Clark Radio Feb. 13. “We go in and we hire within the community and create jobs and opportunities for not only the kids, but for the families themselves.”
