2004: Assist Donation - Jane and Finch B&G Club
_DSC0069(Medium)_web6.JPGOctober 18, 2004 - Toronto Raptors assist leader, Jalen Rose, visited the Jane & Finch Boys and Girls Club to makes an assist in the community for every assist he made on the court during the 2003-04 NBA season. Lucky for the Boys and Girls Club, Jalen was the assist leader last year as he dished out a team-high 329 assists. For the second season, The Jalen Rose Foundation donated $50 for every assist. On this day, Jalen presented a $16,450 check to the club to further enhance their numerous programs. The donation will be used by the club to focus on "healthy eating - healthy bodies," a program that will include after-school snacks, Saturday cooking classes and more.
