About Baron Davis
Baron Davis, a two-time NBA All-Star for the L.A. Clippers, finished the 2007-08 season as one of the elite guards in the league. Davis was the only player in the NBA to average at least 20 points, 7 assists, 2 three's and 2 steals per game last season. Davis' career average include 17.1 points, 7. assists, 4.1 rebounds and 2.0 steals per game.
A native of Los Angeles, Davis was born on April 13, 1979. He grew up in South Central with his grandmother, Madea. He began playing basektball at age 3 after his grandfather built a court for him. He continued his love for the sport all through his younger years, and then at Crossroads HighSchool, Baron accumulated a myriad of honors, including McDonald's All American and Gatorade Player of the Year among others. Davis attended UCLA and became a first-team All-American before being drafted after his sophomore season in the first round (third pick) by the Charlotte Hornets in 1999.
Since entering the NBA, Davis has formed two foundations, TeamPlay and Rising Stars of America.
Team Play focusses on mentorship for inner city kids through its own social networking site. Rising stars of America (www.rsoa.net) conducts basketball camps and sponsors AAU teams. The mission of R.S.O.A. is to utilize athletics as a means of teaching ethical and social values, and life skills through mentorship and positive role modeling to young people.
As Davis' career begins a new chapter having returned to his hometown to play for the Clippers, he plans to be a strong presence within the community to inspire young people to set goals for themselves and work hard to achieve them. With his dedication to basketball, charismatic personality, great sense of humor and unique style all his own, Davis is sure to be a great influence to others, both on and off the court.

Arts Umbrella Story
"It was a dream to instil in all children the love of the arts, inspiring them to become healthy, confident, productive, creative citizens. A dream to build a centre that would awaken the artistic potential of young people in a way that hadn't been done before. It was a dream to make a difference."
— Carol Henriquez, O.C.,
honorary chair of the Arts Umbrella board of directors, co-founder of Arts Umbrella
In 1979, United Nations' International Year of the Child, Arts Umbrella opened its doors to 45 children. It was an endeavour buoyed by the dream of five enthusiastic artists concerned about the lack of arts education available to children. The founders served as instructors, the organization's first board of directors and did everything it took to get their idea off the ground.
The need in the community for children's arts education was evident, and Arts Umbrella took off instantly. Soon a new building, an increasing group of volunteers and donors, and a high-level Board of Directors were in place.
Arts Umbrella has flourished with a strong vision and an unwavering focus on inspiring kids for life through the arts by providing the highest quality visual and performing arts education to children regardless of their financial circumstances.
At Arts Umbrella, children learn to dance, to paint, to sculpt, to create computer games and cartoons, and to perform. They experience the joy of creation and discover their own creative potential. They learn to appreciate the arts. Through arts education, children gain self confidence, independent thinking, technical skills, discipline, and even improved academic results and specific career direction.
Arts Umbrella's strong legacy and culture are the result of the vision and "magic" established by the founders, and continued through the work of the community that supports and upholds the organization. Everyone that has been touched by Arts Umbrella — from students past and present, to parents, staff, instructors, volunteers, donors and the board of directors — thrives and is fed by the energy of the thousands of young people who engage in the magic of the Arts Umbrella experience, year after year.
This magic — charismatic, knowledgeable instructors fostering creativity and inspiring passion in children — is a key attribute of Arts Umbrella, and something the organization continues to take very seriously.
By fostering and nurturing the magic, Arts Umbrella has become a truly world-class children's arts centre serving the community around it, and a model for children's arts institutions around the world.
