Habitat Pinellas Partners With Michael Clemons, Warrick Dunn

DUNEDIN, FL -- In honor of the 10th anniversary of launching his foundation, Dunedin High graduate and Canadian Football League Hall of Fame running back, Michael “Pinball” Clemons, will be partnering with Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas County to construct two new homes in his hometown of Dunedin,.

Pinball was introduced to Habitat Pinellas by longtime supporter, former NFL tunning back and Atlanta Falcons Minority Owner, Warrick Dunn. Dunn has partnered with Habitat on a number of projects over the years and has partnered with Habitat Pinellas on this project as well.

The Pinball Clemons Foundation will sponsor two Habitat Pinellas homes, both located on Aristotle Street in Clemons’ hometown of Dunedin, while Warrick Dunn Charities will provide down payment assistance for both families and fully furnish their homes. The double home dedication will take place on Monday, Sept. 24 at 9 a.m. Clemons and Dunn will be on hand to turn over the house keys to the new homeowners.

Habitat Pinellas homeowner candidates Tiffany Donaldson (323 Aristotle St.) and Torsha Sneed (322 Aristotle St.) have both completed the required 20 homebuyer education classes and are nearing completion on their 350 required sweat equity hours. They will purchase their respective homes with 0 percent interest loan through Habitat, keeping their mortgage affordable.

“Without collaborations with great organizations like the Pinball Clemons Foundation and Warrick Dunn Charities, stability, self-reliance and the dream of homeownership for families like the Donaldsons and Sneeds would not be possible,” said Mike Sutton, CEO of Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas County. “We are grateful for both foundations’ commitments to our community and the families we serve.”
