LeBron James Donates $41 Million To Send 1,100 Kids To College. NBA superstar LeBron James has become the world’s sixth most charitable athlete after giving back to the community that raised him with a very generous donation. James’ efforts will provide a guaranteed four-year university scholarship for 1,100 Ohio kids. LeBron James didn’t have the easiest childhood growing up in Akron, Ohio, but he was given an opportunity when his mother allowed him to live with the family of Frank Walker, a local youth football coach. It was through Walker that James learned his love and talent of basketball. #WhenLeadership turns to #Servanthood. #RespectKingJames. http://www.providr.com/lebron-james-donates-41-million?utm_source=MikeTyson&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=providr
