"Melo" Gives Back To Baltimore Community


NBA superstar, Carmelo Anthony gave back to his community over the weekend by being on hand to promote his annual 3 on 3 basketball tournament in his hometown of Baltimore. The event which is called H.O.O.D (Holding Our Own Destiny) headlined a 3 day array of activities that benefit Anthony's foundation. The above link from the Baltimore Sun profiles Carmelo's good deeds.

It's admirable when young athletes and entertainers give back to their old communities. Being in the public eye, all of their pitfalls are on display for the world to see, but very rarely do we profile the good things that they do to help the underprivileged.
