Michael Pinball Clemons foundation continues to build school
Micheal Pinball Clemons who name is bigger than the team which he used to play for the Toronto Argos decided to go on a trip to Africa years ago and on the trip he found that their were no proper schools there. This started a huge snowball as he decided to start up a foundation to raise money to build schools and in a short period of time like three years he setup a goal to build 131 schools and as of right now he has raised over 140 schools. The schools will be spread out to 7 resourced countries that need schools and on top of the schools that people, companies, and communities have raised the needed 8500 dollars to build a school the foundation has also raised over 400,000 dollars for other charities in the Toronto area. These charities are Habitat for Humanity who build houses in the Toronto area, a scholarship at George Brown College which is given out to multiply students, Sky's the limit who provides computers to families in the Jane and Finch area, and the Ronald MacDonald House Home for Dinner program that support the families staying at the to be close to their ill or recovering child.
The foundation had a number of people donate a school in the name of their family or their child(ren) but on top of that Pinball has been selling shirts at argos game to raise enough money to build a school or two or three.
In the end Pinball Foundation which is at MPCF.ca has done at a lot of fund raising and it shows who much of a mane Pinball has in Toronto and he uses it for the good of others which is amazing. He will likely run for mayor of Toronto within the next 10 years and would likely win and be a great mayor for the city.
Happy Holidays everyone
