McLendon Foundation To Honor Patrick Ewing And Walt Williams

The John McLendon Minority Scholarship Foundation has its annual John McLendon Classic game tonight between Maryland and Georgetown at the XFINITY Center at the University of Maryland at 9 p.m. ET.

At the game, the Foundation will honor two minority, former student-athletes for their philanthropic efforts, one with ties to each institution.

The McLendon Foundation will recognize Patrick Ewing., former basketball student-athlete at Georgetown University, and Walt Williams, former basketball student-athlete from the University of Maryland. These former athletes are providing increased opportunities for current and future student-athletes at their alma maters to succeed in competition and life.

 

A total of $10,000 in proceeds from the game will be donated to the Foundation on behalf of the participating schools.
