Funny man Dillon Francis gets philanthropic, raises over 6k for Chicago schools
Earlier this month, Dillon Francis set up a signed t-shirt auction to help raise money for After School Matters, a Chicago-based charity organization that fosters professional and creative growth for teens through extra curricular activities. Social media savvy Francis raised over $6,000 through the auction, with one shirt selling for over $1,500 alone! Supporters took to Twitter to announce their thanks, and the big man himself sent a letter to all involved. Kudos go out to Flosstradamus too; the Chicago natives hold this charity close to heart and were also big donors.
