Howard #Home2ATL campaign to benefit youth literacy

As part of Dwight Howard’s return home to Atlanta, the Hawks center has begun an effort to help fund youth literacy and empowerment in the city.

The national campaign is known as #Home2ATL. In a fund-raising effort for the Dwight Howard Foundation, a $10 donation will gain entry to win a trip to Atlanta, including airfare, hotel, food, tickets to a Hawks game and Howard’s game-worn jersey and shoes. There will also be a tour of Coca-Cola and the Cartoon Network.
