Russell Westbrook Grants Christmas Wishes In OKC

NBA All-star Russell Westbrook showcased his newly formed WHY NOT? Foundation yesterday by teaming up with Citizens Caring for Children to host a Christmas party by surprising eighty Oklahoma City children living in foster care.

“Now that I am in a position to help, I am honored to partner with Citizens Caring for Children to make a difference in the community,” Westbrook said.

“I hope every child regardless of their circumstances will dream big and say Why Not?”

Nothing is better than seeing a great citizen like Russell giving back.
