DURHAM – Duke head coach
Kara Lawson and members of her women's basketball staff have teamed with Blue Cross & Blue Shield of North Carolina to distribute meals with the Durham Children's Initiative on Thursday, March 11. The Durham Children's Initiative (DCI) provides meals to more than 100 families across the Durham community, working to ensure that children are healthy and have the tools needed to succeed in the classroom.
DCI's mission is to create a pipeline of high-quality services spanning from birth through college or careers for children, youth, and families living in Durham.
Lawson was hired in July as Duke's women's basketball coach, after a decorated playing career and recently serving as an assistant coach with the Boston Celtics.
More than 65 partner organizations and thousands of community members actively contribute to DCI, making it one of the most comprehensive cradle-to-career ecosystems in the state. Through a combination of DCI initiatives and partner services, they work collaboratively at the local and systems levels to support children, youth, and families on their unique journeys toward success.
