Mayor Brown gets some help with his forehand

On February 15th, MWKF had the honor of hosting Mayor Alvin Brown. The Mayor toured our facility with Mal and students had the opportunity to discuss the impact MWKF has had on their lives. Mayor Brown even hit the courts with students, getting some tips on how to perfect his forehand from Student Athlete of the Year, Benzell Lang.
