TONIGHT: GILBERT, BEYONCE TEAM UP
From the Zero Two Hero Foundation:
Three-time NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas announced today that he is supporting Beyoncé’s pre-concert food donation drive in Washington, DC as part of her Beyoncé Experience Tour. The first 1,000 fans to drop off non-perishable food items will receive an autographed photo of Beyoncé. The fan that brings the most food will receive a special prize from both Gilbert and Beyoncé. All of the food items donated in Washington, DC will benefit the Capital Area Food Bank.
The Pre-Concert Food Drive will take place from 5:00pm to 8:30pm.
“Hunger affects every community in the Metropolitan Area and that is why I am proud that my foundation can join Beyoncé in this effort. My goal is to ensure that children have healthy and productive lives and the continued success of food banks is essential to my work. So I hope that people give abundantly,†said Arenas. In the District, one out of two children under the age of 18 are at risk for hunger. Statistics show that hunger hits families where both parents are working but struggle to make ends meet; hunger affects seniors who find themselves with limited access to transportation and food; and hunger affects more than 12 million children who may not know where they will find their next meal. Nationwide more than 35 million Americans are struggling with limited access to food, and the problem of hunger in the United States is growing.
The Zero Two Hero Foundation, is a 501© non-profit organization which helps promote the safety and well being of children by raising funds to support organizations that aid in the preservation of families through foster care, adoption, and child welfare services.

I am proud that Gilbert is doing things like this. I believe that these professional players have a responsibility to lend a helping hand to those in need. I mean they have been blessed, and it is only right that they be a blessing to someone who needs it, whether that is by giving to a non-profit organization, making an appearance for children, or even just giving that homeless guy some some food to eat. Everyone should lend a hand, and I am so excited that Gil and Beyonce are showing up in a BIG way.
