Star Power

BA superstar Chris Paul has had a lot of addresses over the past two decades — New Orleans, Los Angeles, Houston, Phoenix — but there’s one place he calls home. His Winston Salembased Chris Paul Family Foundation (aka the CP3 Foundation) dates back to 2005.

Habitat For Humanity

Paul sponsors (and personally builds) several local homes.

Cp3 Christmas Shopping Spree

The now-annual event Paul co-hosts treats 150 kids to a $100 shopping spree.

Prom Dress Giveaway

Paul and his wife, Jada, debut their annual event that donates dresses, shoes, and more to 100 local seniors.

Thanksgiving Turkey Drive

He launches the now-annual Thanksgiving Turkey Drive, providing meals for more than 300 local families.

New Basketball Locker Room

Paul donates $2.5 million to build a new locker room at Wake Forest University, the largest-ever gift by an alum under the age of 35.

Paul owns a local gym, D1 Sports Training, and is part owner of the Winston-Salem Dash baseball team. “I don’t think you can grow as a person if you don’t remember where you came from,” he says.
