The New York Daily News profiles young Derrick Brown, who has overcome family tragedy to land a basketball scholarship to a prestigious Connecticut prep school. The only problem is that the scholarship is worth $30,000, and doesn't cover the full $40,000 annual tuition for the school.
Derrick, who is 13 and an A student is in jeopardy of returning back to his crime plagued Brooklyn neighborhood unless financial assistance can be obtained to cover the remaining $10,000. The Daily News profile will hopefully spur the generosity of readers to give Derrick the assistance that he needs to continue working towards fulfilling his vast potential.
