Retired Arizona Cardinals Ma'o Tosi who is a also a community activist with his Alaska Pride Foundation you can find the link to the video above and the link to his site https://www.facebook.com/maotosisakpride/info/?tab=page_info
This organization is located inside the Northway Mall in Anchorage has provided a good resource for East Anchorage neighborhood in Anchorage. It respect diversity and positive attitude through sports and other recreation. He is also the manager at Northway Mall which is a shopping center that has turned around since he came aboard in 2011. He has made this mall a place for people to come to again. This mall was previously dying before that. In his latest venture which a few friends at the Alaska Native Hospital one that I have had a friendship on twitter over the past five years and three years on Facebook on a video on Alaska Native suicide prevention you can see the link above from his Facebook page. As know most football players whether playing or retired away give back to their community in various causes. Ma'o even the defensive tackle for the Alaska Wild from 2007 to 2010 during a second attempt to revive his football career after injury in 2002 season of the Arizona Cardinals sidelined him he decided to move to Alaska then do community service work which has done. He has even dabbled in a bit in politics in 2014 he placed a strong third place showing the East Anchorage Assembly race behind current assembly member Pete Petersen and Adam Trombley. He was the sane one in my opinion in this race was always positive did not do any negative jabs at all. He is a person like Mack Strong a retired Seahawks Fullback who creat Mack Strong Teamworks Academy who was given an award in 2010 at the Alaska Native Charter School by the principal at that time they also did a clinic with a partnership in Hope Worldwide Alaska a faith organization separate from the Great Land Christian Church did a football camp in Barrow in 2010. http://www.adn.com/article/20151017/person-dies-after-jumping-balcony-afn-apd-says
