To further commemorate the occasion, WANADA made dollar contributions on Brownês behalf to his charities of choose: The Washington Regional Transplant Community, which assisted him with kidney disease, and Life Pieces to Masterpieces, a group committed to helping disadvantaged black youth be all they can be.
