Tom Brady does good
Just when we thought all Tom Brady was up to was canoodling with Gisele.... The Pats QB will be at the West End House Boys & Girls Club in Allston tomorrow to announce his donation of 1,000 laptops to kids in New England and 31 other countries. Brady is donating the computers through the Cambridge-based One Laptop per Child, which provides low-cost laptops to children in some of the world’s poorest countries. He’ll be joined at the ceremony by Patriots Charitable Foundation president Josh Kraft and One Laptop per Child founder Nicholas Negroponte. Kids at the club will also chat live with peers in Uganda to establish virtual pen pals.
