While four-time All-Star point guard Kemba Walker may be a New Yorker through and through, he’s also deeply entangled in the heart and soul of New England since his days at the University of Connecticut, forever bound together with his magical run to the 2011 NCAA title with the Huskies.
And now as a Boston Celtic, Walker plans of giving back to his adopted home with an initiative to support Black-owned businesses for National Small Business Week in conjunction with Vistaprint. This initiative will take the shape of a Limited-Edition Capsule Collection featuring a sneaker and trading card collection to be auctioned off in support of the Power Forward Small Business Grant program. That program provides financial grants as well as marketing and design resources to help area business flourish.
The capsule collection will include a one-of-a-kind Panini trading card along with one-of-one pair of custom, game-worn sneakers.
