MIAMI, Florida. – He’s a retired athlete from Christopher Columbus High School. CJ Henderson played soccer at the school in 2017 and is now 23 years old.
He’s a cornerback for the Carolina Panthers.
Thomas Kruczek, president of Christopher Columbus High School, said Henderson donated a transformative financial gift that enabled the school to renovate its classroom.
The brand new high school sports training center officially opened its doors on Friday after Henderson donated $ 250,000.
“It means the world to me just to give back to my old turf, where I grew up and where I went to school,” said Henderson.
The Henderson Family Athletic Center includes areas for assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation, including hydrotherapy hot tubs, massage chairs, and exercise tables.
“We have about 1,000 student athletes here at Columbus, so our athletes will use this every day and think about CJ,” said Kruczek.
