Scottie Barnes has just proven why he is so loved in the NBA, not only with his incredible basketball skills, but also because of his condolences. The Raptors player, who is expected to have a bright future in the competition, only got news heads for saving a private school of the financial disaster.
The Toronto Guard remains much further than the basketball court, because he recently donated $ 80,000 to a private education center called Polkadots Playland and Montessori Academy, because they were struggling with assembly debts, according to local news items.
With this last contribution, the school will continue to serve children from pre-veloc school to class 6, including many with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The institution was in a financial crisis since the COVID-19 Pandemie and was even temporarily closed.
