Barkley and Barwin are uniquely positioned to talk about this topic. Barwin’s Make the World Better Foundation raises funds—and he matches every dollar raised—to refurbish inner city playgrounds for Philadelphia’s youth. In June, Barkley pledged $3 million to charity, including the Wounded Warrior Project.
