From the Times Picayune:
Mark Raymond Jr.’s dream took a big step toward becoming a reality Saturday.
After finishing a charitable run of the 2019 AllState Sugar Bowl Crescent City Classic, Raymond announced two substantial donations to his foundation, totaling $35,000, from Darryl Willis and Lance Thomas.
Willis is Raymond’s godfather and also serves as the vice president of oil, gas and energy for Google. Thomas was the captain of the 2018-19 New York Knicks, and has known Raymond since he played for the New Orleans Hornets.
Both said they could not envision Raymond’s organization being in any better hands.
