One of the greatest Maryland basketball players of this era returns to College Park on Saturday, and he’s bringing lots of backpacks with him.
Greivis Vasquez, the guard who starred for the Terrapins from 2006 to 2010 and still sits second on Maryland’s all-time scoring list, hosts a backpack and school supply drive in the city this Saturday. It’s also geared as a family fun day, with face-painting and the like as part of the festivities.
It’s scheduled for 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the College Park Community Center, and Vasquez expects a turnout of something like 300 to 600 kids.
