Tyronn Lue's charity inspired by his growing up “broke and poor” Author: Joe Vardon Publication: Cleveland.com
INDEPENDENCE, Ohio — Nevermind the lull in the Cavs' schedule, with no games for four consecutive days. Tyronn Lue is busy.
Lue is among the team's players and coaches slated to serve Thanksgiving dinner Monday night for children and their families from Cleveland schools who are homeless or otherwise facing significant economic distress.
On Tuesday, Lue will join J.R. Smith, Browns players Joe Haden, Joe Thomas, and John Greco, UFC champion Stipe Miocic, and others serving hot Thanksgiving meals for thousands at TownHall in Ohio City.
Meanwhile, some 670 miles west from where he currently lives in Bay Village, his native, small town of Mexico, Missouri, police officers are serving hot food Lue purchased to the less fortunate. They'll do the same thing at Christmas, except the officers will also be passing out toys to children. – CLICK HERE to read full story.
