Purpose 2 Play went to New York City to cover Derek Jeter as he surprised hundreds of children during his annual Turn 2 Holiday Express event.
Jeter serves as the founder of the Turn 2 Foundation while his sister, Sharlee, serves as president. We were lucky enough to snag both of them for exclusive interviews about their organization, which guides youth to succeed academically, to be leaders in the community, and to remain drug/alcohol free. Ultimately, Turn 2 motivates people to “Turn 2” healthy lifestyles.
“I was always taught that if you have a little, give a little,” Jeter said. “If you have a lot, give a lot. I think my purpose is to help out as many people as I can. I’m very fortunate to have the career that I’ve had, and have a platform to give back and raise awareness. I’m happy that I’ve been able to do that.”
Enjoy!
