Rosecrance is proud to help sponsor a return visit of former NBA professional Chris Herren to DuPage County. Herren will speak at Naperville North High School Feb. 18 and Glenbard North High School Feb. 19. He spoke at Downers Grove North High School last year.
Herren inspires parents and students sharing his journey from NBA Stardom to heroin addiction to recovery. He wrote about his recovery in his book ‘Basketball Junkie’ and ESPN produced a documentary ‘Unguarded,’ based on his basketball career and drug related issues. The events are open to the public.
