Sixteen-year NBA veteran Vlade Divac said that he has launched the "You Can Too" initiative, a four-month campaign to benefit refugees of Serbia and Africa.
The program tips off from Sept. 21-23, 2007, with a weekend fundraiser in Serbia that will feature a dinner, carnival, free concert and museum dedication.
