They saw the play Billy Elliott. They went onstage at the Apollo Theatre. They walked Fifth Avenue with Asomugha's friend, who just happened to be out walking her dog. It was actress Natalie Portman.
And that's where Asomugha comes in. Without him the trip doesn't happen. He not only planned it; he financed it. Do the math: It wasn't cheap. But that's not the point. Asomugha pulled the tour together because he wanted to, which is why he organized a trip of EOYDC kids last spring to New England where teenagers visited Harvard, Brown and Boston Universities, MIT and the Berklee College of Music. And why he sprung for another hike two years ago for a college tour of Atlanta.
