In an inspiring move reminiscent of their fun-filled film “Mac & Devin Go to High School,” hip-hop stars Wiz Khalifa and Snoop Dogg, along with sports host Pat McAfee, have come together to make a significant contribution to Pittsburgh, their shared hometown. The trio recently donated $50,000 to the Pittsburgh Public Schools District. This generous gift aims to support a school system that serves around 20,000 students, many of whom come from challenging economic backgrounds.
While this amount may not solve all the issues within education, it serves as a strong show of support from these well-known figures who still remember their roots. Portia Martin, a media manager for Pittsburgh Public Schools, expressed that this donation not only shows faith in the students’ potential but also highlights the importance of community solidarity. It’s about making a difference, offering encouragement, and spreading hope. The $50,000 will be used for various programs in the school district, focusing on helping students succeed and building community connections.
Given that nearly 80% of students in the district face economic difficulties and over 50 languages are spoken, this support is timely and greatly needed. Wiz Khalifa, who often represents Pittsburgh in his music, is proudly teaming up with Snoop Dogg, his partner from the beloved movie. Pat McAfee adds to this unique team with his blend of humor and sports insight, all while keeping a connection to their hometown…
