A D.C. center for homeless children got a surprise visit this morning from Washington Wizards point guard John Wall — and a $400,000 donation.

Bright Beginnings, an early childhood development and learning organization that serves around 162 children a day, announced the contribution in a news release. The money from Wall will help the center open its second planned facility in Ward 8, which will serve 100 additional children and their families and is expected to open in 2017.

“Support from individuals like Mr. Wall gives Bright Beginnings the encouragement to continue to provide comprehensive services for homeless children in the District of Columbia," wrote Bright Beginnings Executive Director Dr. Betty Jo Gaines in a statement announcing the gift. "It is evident that John Wall is sensitive and concerned about the plight of homeless children in DC and he wants these children to succeed.”
