Kevin Durant Court Unveiled At Bowie State

A joyous occasion unfolded on Thursday as a ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the official celebration of the freshly revitalized Kevin Durant Basketball Court at Bowie State University. The event drew a distinguished assembly of participants, including esteemed members of the Maryland State Legislature and an array of VIP guests. The venue for this momentous occasion was none other than the A.C. Jordan Arena, buzzing with anticipation and enthusiasm.

Notably, just last year, the Kevin Durant Charity Foundation generously contributed $500,000 to Bowie State University. This generous donation facilitated the installation of a top-tier NBA-quality basketball court, along with several upgrades to the press box and various improvements to the arena. In addition to these transformative enhancements, the foundation also announced the establishment of a scholarship fund. This scholarship fund is dedicated to supporting Durant Center College Track students who choose to further their education at Bowie State University.

Wanda Durant, the president of the foundation and the mother of basketball luminary Kevin Durant, is slated to deliver remarks that underscore the significance of their donation to Bowie State. Her words will emphasize the importance of backing HBCU athletic programs and making a lasting impact on the community.

It's worth noting that Kevin Durant has deep roots in Prince George’s County, adding a personal connection to the occasion's significance.
