NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — On Thursday, June 9, New Orleans Pelicans player Jose Alvarado made a special appearance at a local club.
Jose Alvarado dropped by the Westbank Boys and Girls Club to play fun activities with the kids after their lunch. Alvarado also signed his autograph on mini basketballs as he talked with the children.
“What a great day at the Westbank Boys and Girls Club! I’m grateful that I had the opportunity to spend time and talk with these terrific young people,” said Alvarado. “And from what I saw on the court, we might have some future pros.”
