Photos and clips showed Wade hugging and playing with young campers at The Facility in Mequon, Wisconsin.
The event, which was Wade vs. Diener, drew coaches and campers together under a shared mission to combine basketball skills with reading and learning.
Dwyane Wade's goal is bigger than basketball—he's helping kids build a future
The camp ties into the Wade Scholars initiative and the Tragil‑Wade Johnson Summer Reading Program at Marquette University. Coaches like Dwyane Wade and Travis Diener introduce kids to literacy, mentorship, and the idea that reading can take you far.
The plan includes a new practice facility - more than a gym, a hub for young readers to connect with Marquette players and mentors.

The ultimate aim is to see program kids become scholars at Marquette and maybe even play on those courts one day.
Wade didn't write a long caption. He simply joined a thank‑you post that included real images: teaching dribbling, giving high‑fives, and hugging young fans. From youth learning words to mastering basketball, the footage painted a picture of care, not branding.
'For D‑Wade to be on court with little kids, reading and balling - it's powerful,' one fan wrote on X.
Others praised the low‑key, high‑impact messaging: literacy, mentorship, and community - all wrapped into one weekend.
Wade has long been known for his off‑court impact. Since launching this initiative in 2023, he's partnered with Marquette to promote literacy and mentorship. This latest event emphasized planting seeds of opportunity, through basketball and books, that can grow into real futures.
This weekend's moments reminded fans that Dwyane Wade remains committed not only to sport, but to shaping lives - one child, one book, one ball at a time.

The wedding celebration of American tycoon and former journalist Lauren Sánchez Bezos in Venice culminated on Saturday, June 29, 2025, marking the third and final day of festivities. Athletes, celebrities, influencers, and business leaders converged to revel in the extravagant affair, attracting a high-profile crowd, including Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, NFL legend Tom Brady, and the Kardashians. The celebrity couple was seen enjoying one more special day with their guests amid an unforgettable wedding week. Billionaire Amazon founder, 61, and the Emmy Award-winning journalist, 55, tied the knot on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, Italy, on Friday, June 27. The nuptials, which were preceded by a star-studded welcome party, are being capped off with a final blowout bash on Saturday night, June 28. Ahead of the final day of the star-studded celebration, a source told PEOPLE that two of the newlyweds' friends and favorite musicians, Usher and DJ Cassidy, will perform at the party.

"The first night was dinner, the second was the ceremony with Andrea Bocelli's son performing, and tonight's the full-on dance floor," the source further stated. Ahead of the final bash, many of the celebrity guests were photographed getting into water taxis en route to the venue. The list included Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Kris Jenner, and Brooks Nader. Live Events Sánchez shared her first wedding photo on Instagram just hours after the ceremony. About half an hour after her first post, the former journalist shared a second post gushing over her wedding dress—a high-necked, hand-appliquéd Italian lace wedding dress designed by Dolce & Gabbana. "Not just a gown, a piece of poetry. Thank you @dolcegabbana for the magic you made," Lauren wrote. Meanwhile, hundreds of protesters marched through Venice's central streets on Saturday to say 'No' to billionaire Jeff Bezos , his bride, and their wedding extravaganza, which reached its third and final day amid celebrity-crowded parties and the outcries of tired residents. The couple's wedding, which took place at a private ceremony on the secluded island of San Giorgio, angered many Venetians, with some activists protesting it as an exploitation of the city by the billionaire Bezos, while ordinary residents suffer from overtourism, high housing costs, and the constant threat of climate-induced flooding. As the two newlyweds prepared for the final party Saturday evening, hundreds of Venetians and protesters from across Italy filled Venice's tiny streets with colorful banners reading 'Kisses Yes, Bezos No' and 'No Bezos, no War.' Venice has around 50,000 residents. The demonstration contrasted with the expensive wedding bonanza, seen by critics as an affront to the lagoon city's fragile environment and its citizens, overwhelmed by throngs of tourists. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez announced their relationship in 2019. Four years later, the Amazon founder proposed to the former journalist with a 30-carat engagement ring in May 2023. Following the engagement, the celebrity duo kept their wedding plans private, though they shared bits and pieces here and there.

Singer Paul Simon cancels shows in Philadelphia last minute due to back pain
Washington DC [US], June 29 (ANI): Fans of iconic singer-songwriter Paul Simon were left disappointed after the artist cancelled his scheduled performances in Philadelphia due to health issues. In a post shared on his official Instagram handle on Saturday, the 'Sounds of Silence' singer announced the cancellation of his Saturday and Sunday performances (June 29, 2026) at the Philadelphia Academy of Music, citing chronic and intense back pain. "Regretfully, Paul Simon must cancel two shows tonight, June 28 and tomorrow night, June 29, at Philadelphia's Academy of Music. Paul has been struggling with chronic and intense back pain. Today, it became unmanageable and demands immediate attention," read the post. The team of Paul Simon reassured that the singer would return to complete his music tour. "Unfortunately, we have to cancel these shows at this time, as we don't have the ability to reschedule them. However, we are hopeful that after this minor surgical procedure, which has been scheduled in the next few days, Paul will be able to complete the tour as well as look into returning to make up these dates," read Paul Simon's Instagram post. The post went on to say that full refunds will be provided to those who purchased tickets in advance for the show. The post read, "In the meantime, please go to your point of purchase or local ticket provider for a full refund." According to Variety, Simon, who is currently on his 'A Quiet Celebration Tour,' performed at the Philadelphia venue only two days prior on Thursday. It was the first of three shows to take place in the city. After the stint on the East Coast, the tour heads to the Terrace Theatre at the Long Beach Performing Arts Centre on July 7. Especially considering the surgery, it is unclear how Simon's health will affect the rest of the tour. After stopping in Long Beach, California, Simon is set to do a five-night stint at Los Angeles' Disney Hall, reported Variety. Paul Simon is known for his album 'Graceland', which was released in 1986. (ANI)
