Torrey Smith's generosity is Anquan Boldin-like.
Smith, the San Francisco 49ers wideout who was signed at the start of last year's free-agency period, is doing things in the community that would make the reigning Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year winner proud.
Case in point: Smith joined forces with a handful of celebrities to provide financial support to Donors Choose, a foundation that supports underfunded school programs across the country. The foundation created a #BestSchoolDay campaign on Thursday, March 10, and it was celebrated on CBS' "Late Show with Stephen Colbert."
Joining the likes of actress Anna Kendrick, hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons, Houston Rockets center Dwight Howard and the founders of Twitter and Craigslist, Smith appeared in New York City to share his support for the cause. Smith and his wife, Chanel, made a donation to flash-fund school programs in east Baltimore.
In total, the "Best School Day" program supported 11,000 school projects in 47 states.
