Portland Trail Blazer Evan Turner announced today a $50,000 donation to the American Diabetes Association (ADA) to support local initiatives such as “Let’s Play Portland,” in partnership with the David Douglas School District (DDSD) and Providence Health and Services.
“Let’s Play Portland” works with students at Menlo Park and Lincoln Park Elementary Schools to help prevent and manage childhood obesity and chronic conditions through wellness and nutrition education and physical activity, as well as drive a measurable increase in the physical activity of third-, fourth- and fifth-grade students attending two DDSD schools: Menlo Park and Lincoln Park in Multnomah County.
