Robinson Cano celebrates the launch of his RC24 Foundation

Robinson Cano celebrated his RC24 Foundation’s work with The Dream Project, which works to improve education in the Dominican Republic, with a fund-raiser and domino tournament at Jay-Z’s 40/40 Club Monday night. The Yankee star, who has just signed with Roc Nation Sports, built his nonprofit to help underprivileged children from New York to his native D.R. He said, “My goal is to start building schools. We got a deal with Dream Project, so now we’re going to build our first school.” Guests who helped raise more than $545,000 included Jay, CC Sabathia, Jayson Nix, Kevin Durant (also newly signed to Roc Nation Sports), Jessica White, Melanie Fiona, Sean Garrett, Idris Elba and Angie Martinez.
