Former Toronto Raptors player Morris Peterson recruits Snoop Dogg for Hoop 4 Water charity basketball game.
According to Michigan Live, Long Beach, California rapper Snoop Dogg will head to Flint, Michigan this weekend to help in hosting the Hoop 4 Water charity basketball game. The idea to hoop for a cause was one created by former Toronto Raptors star and Flint native, Morris Peterson.
“I’ll tell you what Snoop loves Flint,” Morris Peterson said while speaking with Michigan Live. “He is doing this from his heart, and he’s not asking for a dime. He’s coming down here on his own merit, and he’s concerned with what he can do for the city…We want to make people feel good and continue to bring awareness to the Flint water crisis. I don’t want it just to be swept under the rug and this is one of my ways of giving back just to bring people together and forgetting about everything for a few hours.”
