A special award was presented to Basketball Legend, Alonzo Mourning, in recognition of his many contributions as the founder of the Alonzo Mourning Charities Inc. to aid in the development of children and families living in at-risk situations. In 2003, he also founded the Overtown Youth Center for underprivileged children, located in Miami, Florida. The program aims to inspire, empower, and enrich these children while teaching them to become positive contributing citizens.
After being diagnosed with focal glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), Mourning launched Zo’s Fund for Life, a campaign which seeks to raise funds for research, education, and testing to fight focal glomerulosclerosis. Funds are allocated toward research for a cure, education for doctors and the general public, testing for early detection and a fund for those not able to afford medication.
