Now the Book Bank Foundation movement and I are here for a re-birth of the spirit of the lost, lonely, and forgotten. Our scale is small but our size is big.

Hines is a graduate of New York City College of Technology for both an Associate and Bachelor of Science in paralegal studies. In 2005 Hines graduated from CUNY Law School and shortly after, was admitted to the New York State Bar.

Partnering in the charity event is revered philanthropist, sports/celebrity super-agent, and BBF founder Glenn Toby. “As the demands of the people increase in these tough economical times, so do the hearts of the people who would like to help,” states Toby; “Communities are shaping and growing together more than ever.

Included in the less fortunate are an estimated 3,000 children that will be provided food, clothing, non-perishable goods, inspiration and wisdom. Felton plans on echoing the BBF’s principals, all while incorporating in his own. “I’m happy to be at a place in my life where I can be a blessing to others”, says Felton. “The BBF’s principals are ones dear to my heart, I’m excited to work with them and contribute to their cause.”

Kamille Leai, VH1’s ‘Hot Wings’ of “Real Chance of Love”, as well as VH1’s Dalen Spratt of “I Want to Work for Diddy2” will also join the BBF along with Felton to serve and speak to the attendees of the event.
