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.
