Eric Snow - Personal Life and Philanthropy

Personal Life and Philanthropy

Snow is the younger brother of former linebacker Percy Snow, who also played at Michigan State University, and for both the Kansas City Chiefs and the Chicago Bears of the NFL. Eric Snow has stated he would like to coach after his NBA playing career is over.

Snow's ex-wife, DeShawn, was one of the main subjects in the first season of Bravo TV's reality series The Real Housewives of Atlanta, which premiered in October, 2008. DeShawn was not invited back for the second season; according to her, producers said it was because she was "too human for a circus show" and did not create enough drama. The couple have 3 boys together.

Snow founded the Shoot for the Moon Foundation, which is dedicated to supporting and strengthening communities and families within the northeast section of Ohio, through an emphasis and concentration on community activities aimed at empowering and encouraging fathers.

Famous quotes containing the words personal life, personal, life and/or philanthropy:

    He hadn’t known me fifteen minutes, and yet he was ... ready to talk ... I was still to learn that Munshin, like many people from the capital, could talk openly about his personal life while remaining a dream of espionage in his business operations.
    Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

    I leave the governor’s office next week, and with it public life ... [which] has been on the whole a pleasant one. But for ten years and over my salaries have not equalled my expenses, and there has been a feeling of responsibility, a lack of independence, and a necessary neglect of my family and personal interests and comfort, which make the prospect of a change comfortable to think of.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    This spending of the best part of one’s life earning money in order to enjoy a questionable liberty during the least valuable part of it reminds me of the Englishman who went to India to make a fortune first, in order that he might return to England and live the life of a poet. He should have gone up garret at once.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I shall not be forward to think him mistaken in his method who quickest succeeds to liberate the slave. I speak for the slave when I say that I prefer the philanthropy of Captain Brown to that philanthropy which neither shoots me nor liberates me.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
