Way to go Tina!

Tina is a special person, and a pretty good baller.

 

[JimGunther]

That is a breathtaking gesture!

I mean, Tina is making some $$ but for a professional WOMAN athlete, THAT is some significant cash.

I always thought Tina was a sweetie - she's a mench.

Wow.

What a remarkably generous move by Tina - we always knew she had a great heart. Kind of makes basketball seem pretty small, doesn't it?

She knows what really matters!

Be the difference you want to see. WTG, Tina.

The whole world should be like Tina - pick a worthy cause/goal, and support it!!!

Tina, that's really, really cool and I'd like to think that besides learning from your parents, UCONN WBB helped make you the whole, wonderful human being that you are

Tina! Very nice thing to do. And the really tall kids will become Huskies.

Was there ever a doubt where this kid heart was. Tina is a gentle spirit whose heart is pure. Her gesture was an act of Grace that could only come from someone with a loving heart. God Bless Tina Charles.

$32,500 is about 60% of her gross wnba salary. Obviously she has other sources of income, but that's still extremely generous.

UConn and Tina were a perfect match, and both were lucky to have had the other.

From the article on wnba.com:

"It has been both a pleasure and an honor to work with Tina Charles,” Fanaro said. “Her support has enabled her to become OmniPeace's first Sports Ambassador, and we are excited to be in partnership with her. I am in awe of her basketball talent, and impressed by her kind demeanor and genuine dedication to wanting to make a difference."

She is a class act and has a huge heart. What a great ambassador for the program
