Former NBA Player to Visit Guilford and Deliver a Powerful Talk

Shared by the Town of Guilford on Facebook:

On Monday, March 23, 2015, at 7:00 pm, Guilford DAY will host former NBA player Chris Herren at Guilford High School Gym, 605 New England Road.

Mr. Herren struggled with substance abuse for much of his basketball career while playing for the Boston Celtics and Denver Nuggets. In recovery since 2008, Mr. Herren has since dedicated his life to helping young people avoid or return from the path of addiction. He is an extraordinary speaker, with a powerful story appropriate for a middle or high school age audience.

Chris has also developed PROJECT PURPLE as a way for students and adults to show their support for positive decision-making and taking a stand against youth substance abuse.

As a show of support we ask that you please wear purple on March 23rd when Mr. Herren comes to Guilford.

Want some of our purple stuff? Contact us at: ottteam@sbcglobal.net for tee-shirts, ribbons and wristbands.

Thank you for your support of “IT’S WORTH IT.” Please join us in the GHS Gym on the 23rd!
