He said giving to the Children’s Hospital is all about helping kids.
“That gets back to my football days, right,” Gary Pinkel said. “We had to win games to keep our jobs, but at the end of the day, my job was to help kids and help them mature, help them grow, and be like a father to them. And, I’m real excited about what they’re doing here.”.
