A Story of Generosity With Canadian Roots
From CNN's "Good Stuff" newsletter, 2021-02-13
 Lookin' sharp!
"Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek's positive impact will be felt forever, and his family just added one more piece to his legacy.
Trebek's family donated a significant portion of his natty wardrobe to The Doe Fund, an organization that provides support and paid work to underserved Americans with histories of addiction, homelessness and incarceration. In all, the family donated four suits, 58 dress shirts, 300 neckties, 25 polo shirts, 14 sweaters, nine sports coats, nine pairs of dress shoes, 15 belts, two parkas and three pairs of dress slacks.
Doe Fund participants will use the items in their reentry program for job interviews.
"During his last day on set, Alex extolled the virtues of everyone opening up their hands and their hearts to those who are suffering," said Mike Richards, the game show's executive producer. "Donating his wardrobe to those who are working to rebuild their lives is the perfect way to begin to honor that last request." |
