His remarks came during the opening day of Bridge Boston, a summer camp for high schoolers with interest in STEAM careers, one of several initiatives from his 7uice Foundation. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to continuing to find solutions to problems that exist and being the voice for those who are willing to listen,\u201d Brown said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>At the event, Healey declared July 7 as 7uice Foundation Day in Massachusetts, in honor of Brown\u2019s community investment. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThat impact means more and has a greater effect than any banner hanging at TD Garden,\u201d Healey said. \u201cA lot of athletes don\u2019t think about using their platform in a way to make life better in way to create opportunities, especially for our young people.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The declaration, on the seventh day of the seventh month, commemorates Brown\u2019s jersey number with the Celtics. It\u2019s the second holiday Brown was recognized for after Oct. 24, his birthday, was declared the city of Boston\u2019s Jaylen Brown day last year. Healey, a former college and professional point guard herself, called him one of the greatest players to ever don the green.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Questions, criticism, and worries have flooded Boston after news of the five-time all-star\u2019s trade to the Philadelphia 76ers erupted last week. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Many fans have been upset about Boston losing its finals MVP and leader on the Celtics, but some civic leaders are even more concerned about losing his commitment to Boston\u2019s kids.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>However, Brown, who grew up Georgia, said his work on that front is here to stay. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=4535\">Is 80 too old for the Senate? Here\u2019s what 80-year-olds (and almost 80-year-olds) think.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI\u2019ve seen change in Boston, but there\u2019s absolutely more work to do,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Three years ago, Brown said he wanted to bring a Black Wall Street to Boston. He and his mother, Mechalle Brown, who is also the president of 7uice, spearheaded that mission. Through 7uice, they\u2019ve started the Bridge Boston program and Boston Xchange, a nonprofit focused on creating $5 billion in net wealth for marginalized communities in Boston. Despite countless philanthropic efforts over his decade in Boston, Brown isn\u2019t satisfied. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cBoston is the perfect place to do it,\u201d Brown said. \u201cThe resources are so high here, but there\u2019s still a lack of resources in some areas.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Affordable housing and disproportionate incarceration rates are his next areas of focus for Boston. He also has similar plans for Philadelphia. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Tyrik Wilson, manager of the city of Boston\u2019s Youth Sports Initiative, said Brown\u2019s commitment to the community is rare among professional athletes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt\u2019s off-season, this is the time you need to be resting,\u201d Wilson said. \u201cHe\u2019s putting himself out there. He\u2019s trying to make change in any way that he can.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Wilson said the city is inspired to carry on Brown\u2019s legacy after his departure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Days before the trade, the Legislature gave the 7uice Foundation a $700,000 earmark in the new fiscal year\u2019s budget to supports its goals. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Jalen Judy, 16, one of the students at the MIT program, said he teared up when he heard Brown was being traded. He said he appreciates the program, which has given him a good foundation to pursue his dream of studying business in college and becoming a lawyer. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cHe\u2019s providing big business to kids that are trying to make themselves big,\u201d Judy said. \u201cBasketball changes, but his morals won\u2019t.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=4533\">Trump covets Greenland for its location.
