Hines Ward Charity Fundraising Weekend

Blasian individuals like Hines Ward who find different ways of giving back to their community inspire me. I first learned of his community efforts from a blasian community member who grew up in Korea. I learned that Hines partnered with Pearl S. Buck International in Korea to help children suffering from social discrimination. Hines donated $1 million USD to create the Hines Ward Helping Hands Foundation, which the AP called "a foundation to help mixed-race children like himself in South Korea, where they have suffered discrimination."

Of course after learning and reading more about that, I took a special interest in what he was going to next.  Recently through his facebook fanpage I found out

Hines Ward and the Foundation Staff
The Hines Ward Helping Hands Foundation mission is two-fold, we help bi-racial Korean children to have a better quality of life while promoting equality and we provide educational programs to help children build confidence and maintain a work ethic that will provide them the tools to succeed in life.
