Charlie Sheen isn’t just a “winner” -- he’s a giver too.
The former Two and a Half Men star showed his support for best friend Tony Todd’s baseball program and charity event by donating $10,000, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.
“Charlie’s donation of $10,000 means everything to me and to our baseball program,” Tony told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview.
“He had wanted to offer more, but I said that is way too much. This is the side of him that the media does not know about. He is always there trying to help others who are less fortunate.”
Tony is putting on the Samohi Baseball Charity Poker and Auction event this Saturday at the Moose Lodge in Santa Monica with proceeds going to Santa Monica High School baseball — where Charlie was once a star pitcher.
