LeBron James


     LeBron James is not only a hero on the court but on the streets as well. Known as "King James", he's done handfuls of charity work. Believe it or not, he has made many children's dreams come true. He is a genuinely good human being, which is hard to find nowadays.
     When James left the Cleveland Cavaliers after being with them for 8 years to join the Miami Heat, everyone criticized him. He didn't let that stop him though. Despite all the criticism, James used all the profit from this publicity and raised $2.5 million for a good cause, the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. He donated leftovers of $3.5 million to other charities. He has also used his fame to help out organizations such as Children's Defense Fund and ONExONE. He also went on to create the LeBron James Family Foundation. 
     James generously laid out $1 million to remodel the gym at his old high school in his hometown in Ohio, Akron. LeBron has also given 300 kids the opportunity for success with scholarship money and supplies, as long as they had promised to stay in school all throughout graduation. LeBron James continues to run his programs and make people all over the world smile everyday. Underneath that #6 uniform is a truly amazing role model.
