The best ideas usually start with a simple question.
Leon Cox has known college basketball legend Dereck Whittenburg long enough to anticipate what a normally innocent query—What do you want to do next?—could lead to. When Whittenburg told Cox he wanted to get involved in education and help college students, the groundwork was set for the Dereck Whittenburg Foundation. His foundation will be awarding scholarships to college students this month at its annual banquet at CAM Raleigh December 4. “I was interested in helping kids finish college,” Whittenburg says. “We’ve awarded 59 scholarships since we started and we’re expanding. It’s pretty exciting to see it grow.”
