Dwyane Wade took a break from the game to shoot the upcoming cover of Monarch Magazine. At first glance, Dwyane Wade definitely catches the eye looking quite debonair in his grey suit with compliments of pink until you spot the crusty white chap on his lips… Photoshop doesn’t cost that much does it???

D. Wade Speaks on Foundation:

In 2003, Dwyane founded the Wade’s World Foundation which provides support to community- based organizations that promote education, health and social skills for children in at-risk situations. Wade was inspired to start the foundation because he wanted to give back to underserved communities and support issues of purpose. At the tender age of seven Wade had a revelation; he questioned why no celebrities came back to his neighborhood to give back. Growing up in Chicago, he says “I’ve seen the worst for a kid – I’ve seen the gangs and the drugs and the shootings. So I will always been involved and try to stop those things from happening.” It was as a child he decided that if he ever made it, he would do great things for his community. “Yeah, the foundation is something I’ve always had in my heart because of where I came from,” says Wade. I just always wanted to give kids an opportunity. So this foundation gives to kids in need.” He further states, “I feel the need to give kids other opportunities in life to be able to succeed.”

“Currently, Chicago, Miami and Milwaukee are the three main cities, but also we like to do something during All- Star in that host city and in a few other cities I go to throughout the year.” Some of the events the foundation supports, for example, are free basketball camps for nearly 600 youth from Robbins, Illinois. In 2007, Wade hosted “A Week of Wade’s World in South Florida” – a week long series of events and appearances that touched hundreds of South Florida kids. With the goal of building a youth center in the area where he grew up, Wade will continue to support a variety of programs that inspire, uplift and motivate. “I did want it to be this way. I did want it to be focused on the kids. We always talk about what the president is doing or what our economy is doing, ” Wade continues. “But we need to make sure we are doing our part in making this a better place and make sure our kids are better off than we are.”

Gotta Love the Kids… But somebody is getting fired for them crusty chapped lips!!!
