Wizards Russell Westbrook opening middle school, high school in Los Angeles By Erin Walsh | Last updated 2/24/21
Washington Wizards star Russell Westbrook is giving back to the community in his hometown of Los Angeles.
The 32-year-old has partnered with the L.A. Promise Fund to launch the Russell Westbrook Why Not? Academy, which created a middle school and high school in South L.A., according to People s Jen Juneau and Lindsay Kimble. I ve realized through the work with my (Why Not? Foundation) how often schools in underserved communities lack the resources and funding needed to support their students, Westbrook said. I not only want to inspire and empower these students, but I want to help provide the essential and necessary resources to set them up for success beyond the classroom.
