On December 23rd, 2023 we hosted 100 incredible honor roll students to a $200 shopping spree at Walmart, Hollywood followed by arcade fun at FunDimension for the 15th Annual B-Wootie Holiday Honor Roll Program. Renamed in honor of the late Ms. Barbara Wooten, the Foundation's co-founder and Udonis Haslem’s beloved stepmother.
