"We do a lot. It's really my wife who does everything, I am kind of just there. When it comes to the kids, you know the kids, they mean a lot to us.
"And so we try to provide opportunities and resources to them in whatever capacities that they need. So, it could be their medical bills, clothes, food, whatever it is, we have done any and everything for kids. We just give opportunites and blessings that we got when we were kids."

Betts is scheduled to hold his second annual bowling event at Lucky Strike Lane at LA Live on Feb. 3. This event will benefit the foundation in its path of helping kids. The 50/50 Foundation's mission has always been to improve the community and help children have a better life.
