Toronto Raptors’ Chris Boucher Launches Scholarship For Caribbean Students: ‘Something I’ve Always Wanted To Do’
Chris Boucher’s story is as improbable as they come. Born in St. Lucia, the Toronto Raptors power forward immigrated to Canada with his mother when he was 5, and grew up in poverty in Montreal’s north end. He dropped out of school at 16, and faced homelessness while working as a dishwasher at a St-Hubert restaurant. Eventually, he found a way into the NCAA, but went undrafted due to a torn ACL.
