Kobe For President: Kobe Bryant Wants To Reduce Homelessness In L.A.

 

For the past two years, Kobe Bryant has been playing in the NBA Finals trying to bring home the NBA title, but this year he’s trying to do something else for the city of Los Angeles.
The Lakers superstar and his wife, Vanessa, have formed the Kobe and Vanessa Bryant Family Foundation, which is a nonprofit foundation dedicated to reduce homelessness in Los Angeles.
This is an issue local politicians should be taking up, but since they aren’t doing so, Kobe and Vanessa will.
Kobe is scheduled to hold a press conference today at ‘My Friends’s Place,’ a nonprofit resource center. During the press conference he’ll speak on plans to raise funds, provide educational resources, and create housing for those in need.
It’s always nice to see someone as privileged as Kobe actively giving back to the community. Hopefully, next year he’ll hold off his charitable contributions until after L.A. wins the 2012 NBA championship.
