For basketball fans, the news of Dwyane Wade‘s retirement was difficult to hear. Over the course of 16 years, Wade has become one of the best-known basketball players in the world– breaking records and bringing his team to championship wins on a number of occasions– but fame and stardom haven’t gone to his head.

Dwyane Wade gives back in a variety of ways. He has made charitable donations to a number of organizations, and even formed his own foundation, The Wade’s World Foundation, that provides support to organizations that help cultivate education, health, and social skills for at-risk children. What really shines, however, is the work he has done for a number of individuals in need.

Budweiser reunited Wade with a number of individuals whose lives he has made a difference in: a young woman who could not afford college tuition, victims of a terrible fire, the family of a victim of the Parkland shooting, and his mother.
