TORONTO -- The Jays Care Foundation is doubling down on its investment to support children and youth through the Toronto Community Housing project.
Jays Care announced on Tuesday morning that it will invest an additional $246,000 this year, which brings the grand total for 2016 up to more than $500,000.
The latest contribution was announced during a Toronto stop on the club's annual Winter Tour. Jays Care executive director Robert Witchel, Toronto mayor John Tory and Toronto Community Housing board chair Bud Purves were among those on hand at Rogers Centre.
"I thank the Toronto Blue Jays and Toronto Community Housing for this partnership to expand a successful program," Tory said.
