Kobe Bryant and Gianna Bryant’s legacy will forever live on. On Thursday, February 13, Vanessa Bryant took to social media to announce the special meaning behind the change of the Mamba Sports Foundation’s name. “Because there is no #24 without #2, we have updated the Mamba Sports Foundation to now be called the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation. Our mission remains the same – and stronger than ever – to provide opportunities to young people through sports. Thank you all for the outpouring of support and your kind donations to date as we carry forth Kobe and Gigi’s legacy.. We hope to empower young athletes in a world they left us all to help shape. #Mamba #Mambacita”
