COMPTON, Calif. – Long before Chris Paul became an NBA superstar, he was taught the importance of giving back.
That was instilled in him from his parents, who were on hand Friday as the Chris Paul Family Foundation and the L.A. Clippers Foundation opened a newly refurbished Read to Achieve Live, Learn and Play Center at the Salvation Army Compton Corps Community Center.
“I’m so excited about this event today,” said Robin Paul, Chris’ mother. “This does my heart good to see these kids as they go around to these different rooms and see the new stuff and see the difference some of us are trying to make in their lives.
