After football, Seahawks' Doug Baldwin turns passion to building family center
SEATTLE -- Former Seattle Seahawks star receiver Doug Baldwin is already making his next big play for the community.
He’s throwing his support and $1 million of his own money into building a family community center in Renton.
Baldwin says he wanted to give back to the Cascade-Benson community that supported him throughout his career.
It was the place Baldwin moved to as an undrafted rookie in 2011 and a place that wrapped its arms around him.
But Baldwin says when he talked to kids in the area, there was one glaring issue within the community -there was nowhere to go.
“There wasn't much of a program or hub for the community that I had back home in Florida,” Baldwin explained. “I thought, ‘Maybe that would be good one day to bring that to life here, and now we're here.'"
