NBA superstar Dwayne Wade was given the Fatherhood Award by the National Fatherhood Initiative for his dedication to sons Zaire and Zion.

NBC reports:

The NFI cited Wade’s dedication to influence underprivileged young in Miami and his hometown of Chicago through his Wade’s World Foundation, which he began in 2005.

Wade was awarded custody of his two sons in March. He and his ex-wife separated in August 2007 and it took Wade years to get the divorce.
