And that’s how you make change rather than “taking a knee” to whine. Kudos.

I hope they sell it. else they’ll have to funnel donations for the charity into maintenance.

Wow, what a great thing to do. I hope the charity can afford to maintain it. The best thing might be to sell it and put the money in a trust. I would think it would cost $50K a year to maintain the property.

it looks unfinished in the picture.

Hope the charity has ideas to use the property wisely and have it sustain itself. christmas tree farm, gar dent o grow some of own food, animals for food. I wonder what taxes are?

Why would anyone want a house that big and expensive. The land is awesome but a smaller house would suffice. But kudos for giving it to a worthy cause.

As a Phillies fan I’ve always been a huge Cole Hamels fan. Great player, great guy. He’s very actve in charities, never knew he was THIS generous though.

Contrast to the actions of the NFL.
