This news follows the announcement that BodyArmor’s founder, Mike Repole, donated $24 million to the foundation just one day earlier. It was done as a means of making efforts to ensure the future of the children. 

Furthermore, he shared his thoughts and expressed his future goals with the foundation in regard to this, “I’m going to make sure this foundation gets bigger than the Ronald McDonald House,” he told the Boardroom.
