Photo provided | | | | | | Juan Toscano-Anderson, former NBA player for the Golden State Warriors, presented details about his Journey To Achieve (JTA) Foundation, which is committed to the idea that small acts of kindness can change a child's life trajectory. He grew up in Oakland, so its mission is primarily in that community and will extend its reach to families in need in nearby areas. The three pillars of the Foundation are in Education, Support, and Community, and it arranges community engagement events, workshops, and clubs. It has also founded a scholarship fund.
Toscano-Anderson now plays in the Sacramento Kings organization. He said "I established the JTA Foundation with the aim of giving back to the community that has always believed in me."
