Mike Tyson launches children’s charity foundation
Throughout his career, Mike Tyson has been viewed as one of the all-time boxing greats to ever set foot inside the ring. Now the former heavyweight champ, who was once dubbed the “Baddest Man On The Planet,” is aiming to provide an outlet for impoverished children through his Mike Tyson Cares Foundation.
Tyson announced the launch of the organization last week. The organization vows to “give kids a fighting chance” by offering innovative centers that provide for the comprehensive needs of kids from broken homes.
According to the organization’s website, the “needs may include healthcare assistance, shelter, school assistance, mentoring, job placement assistance and such other needs as determined by the center for the overall well being of the child.
“I am very proud to launch Mike Tyson Cares Foundation,” said Tyson. “I want my legacy to be about charity and helping children. This is my start.”
