Caron Butler and the Washington Wizards invite 11-18 year olds in the Washington DC Metropolitan area to participate in a new character education program: Caron’s 3Ds to Succeed. Caron Butler had some struggles as he was growing up, but his 3Ds -- Dedication, Determination and Discipline -- got him through the hard times and made him into a strong and successful All-Star, both on and off the court. In order to motivate youth in the Washington DC Metropolitan area to use these 3Ds to Succeed, Caron and the Wizards will recognize and reward local youth who have used one of these 3Ds to overcome adversity, build character or power achievement and to succeed in their own lives.
The Washington Wizards honored April winners Ashley McBride, McKinley Technology High School and Kory Muse, Ballenger Creek Middle School at the Wizards game on Friday, April 4th by bringing them and a guest to the game. During halftime they were both honored on the court and received framed Caron’s 3Ds to Succeed posters with Caron’s autograph. After the game the winners were surprised with a meet and greet with Caron.
Thank you to all of the students who participated in Caron’s 3Ds to Succeed program.

Here is a message from Caron:
“Hey this is Caron Butler of the Washington Wizards and I live by the 3Ds --Discipline, Determination and Dedication. These 3Ds have helped me be the All-Star that I am today on and off the court. Which one of the 3Ds have you used to succeed? Let me know by submitting a piece of work that explains your experience. (Ex. Essay, song/rap, video, artwork with explanation, poem…etc.)”
