“It was all to benefit a nonprofit organization called Help Hope Live.”

KJ Henry – son of Help Hope Live client Keith Henry – returned to Clemmons, NC, to host a celebrity basketball game and youth football camp.

Entering his second year in the NFL with the Washington Commanders, KJ has been pledging his time, talent, and voice to supporting Help Hope Live following the mission’s impact on his own family.

“Honestly there were just so many that gave back to me when I was growing up…I want to give that feeling to some kids around here.”

We were grateful and excited for a chance to be a part of KJ’s efforts: our Executive Director Kelly L Green and Director of Outreach Sonny Mullen spread the word about Help Hope Live as part of KJ’s community initiatives.
