As part of National Mentoring Month, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist brought 14 children on the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Charlotte waiting list to watch the Bobcats take on the Sacramento Kings on January 19 at Time Warner Cable Arena®.
Although he's not a Big Brother himself, Kidd-Gilchrist is passionate about being involved with the program. This past holiday season, he made it a point to reach out to boys that had not yet been matched to a Big Brother and have been on the waiting list for two years. Sponsored by Jordan Brand, Kidd-Gilchrist supplied 14 boys with gift baskets that included backpacks, shoes and other items.
