Payoff Pitch with Dave Whigham

Andre Collins’s basketball resume is one that the most die-hard basketball player would aspire to replicate.
The Crisfield, Maryland, native competed and won championships at the prep, college, and professional levels of basketball.
But what’s more impactful is what he’s done following his post-basketball career as an entrepreneur and community leader.
In this episode, Collins joins host Earl Holland to discuss his basketball journey and how he gave back to the game that gave him so much as well as his hometown.
Collins also discusses the impetus of the annual anti-bullying event called “Dre Day.”
