"Starks, who attended four colleges in four years and went undrafted, knows how difficult it is to find tuition money. This led him to establish the John Starks Foundation in 1994, providing scholarships to high school seniors in the tri-state area and his hometown of Tulsa, OK. When the Garden of Dreams Foundation was formed in 2006, Starks jumped at the chance to become a board member."
"Garden of Dreams Week programming is taking place throughout the week, as the foundation partners with the Knicks, New York Rangers, and the Radio City Rockettes. Events include a toy drive at the Rockettes' Christmas Spectacular, the Rangers' and Knicks' respective Garden of Dreams nights at Madison Square Garden, and the Rangers' annual Toys For Tots toy drive. The Knicks' Day of Cheer takes place Saturday, where Knicks captain Jalen Brunson will surprise six families from the Garden of Dreams Adopt-A-Family program"
