Thank you to all those who have donated and continue to suppor Pearl.   After a brief lapse, the GoFundMe is active and accepting donations again.

Don't forget, you can show your support for Pearl and the Syracuse Orange basketball team by purchasing a #PrayersForPearl T-Shirt with proceeds also benefiting Pearl's care here .



***UPDATE FROM FAMILY ON CONDITION OF PEARL WASHINGTON - MARCH 3, 2016***

Pearl continues to be resting comfortably as he fights his disease, the brain tumor.  He & the family are truly appreciative of the donations already made, the visits to the home & the phone calls from friends near and far.  

Please continue to spread #PrayersForPearl as he deals with his battle to beat his cancer.  The donations received to date are being used to help offset medical expenses and living expenses to help ease the families burdens.   Pearl has seen on TV, fans wearing the PEARL t-shirts & the SU Basketball team  wearing the warm up 'PEARL' shirts.  He smiles in happiness!  

On behalf of Pearl & the family, thank you!  The support is overwhelming and appreciate

My longtime friend, Pearl Washington, a former Syracuse Orange basketball star who also played for the Nets and Heat in the NBA, has suffered a relapse of a brain tumor that he has been dealing with since 1995.

Pearl has been sticking in for a while, but unfortuantely there is a lot he is dealing with. He struggles to walk and needs assistance/supervision. I'm trying to get this next phase more comfortable for him.

Pearl will now require round-the-clock 24-hour care, a wheelchair and other necessities. I along with many other fellow Orange alumni are doing what we can to raise money for one of my favorite people in the world. Please consider donating.


***UPDATE***
Brandon Steiner is hosting a live-streamed Q&A at Facebook.com/Steiner  (Brandon’s page) with current Syracuse Basketball Assistant Coach Coach Mike Hopkins and former Syracuse star John Wallace on Monday January 25th at 1pm ET to interact with fans and raise awareness for the #PrayersForPearl fundraising campaign.
