Snoop Dogg To Raise $5 Mil For Community Center

Snoop Dogg has signed on to help raise money for a $140 million dollar youth center in one of Long Beach's poorest neighborhoods.

 

Snoop, a native of Long Beach, is recording a song to donate proceeds to The Kroc Center, a new facility run by The Salvation Army.

 

The Kroc will sit on 19 acres of land and will include a two-story, 84,000 square-foot recreation center with a gymnasium, a fitness center, gardening areas, walking trails, pools and other facilities to train future athletes and Olympians.

 

Snoop Dogg will record a track with all of the proceeds - an estimated $5 million dollars - going towards the facility.

 

Professional football player Willie McGinest has also signed on to promote the center's endeavors and recently made a sizeable donation.

$140 mill for a recreation center? Thats a lot of money. Why dont they spread the omoeny around for other stuff besides sports? Is that alll they think minorities can do is either be a professional athlete or entertainer? I mean its still awseome and good for community but idk.
