Tyrod Taylor donates to wellness center in hometown.

Giants backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor has partnered with his native Hampton, Virginia, and a late anonymous donor to fund the $1.8 million first-phase renovation of a previously discarded rundown area of a neighborhood Boys and Girls Club, creating the Tyrod Taylor Wellness Center. The center, which more than doubled in size to just shy of 20,000-square feet, has the capacity to serve more than 200 children and includes a fully functional commercial kitchen to foster a culinary arts program that will teach everything from healthy food preparation to working in a restaurant. Mental-health coping strategies like practicing yoga are underway, and Taylor joined the first class.
