All of the toys that were purchased were donated to Westmoreland Community Action and CYS.
In addition to this recent act of charity, Martin is known to be a huge inspiration to his community.
Last weekend, Quinton, who is one of the top junior high school football players in the country, was part of the Belle Vernon Area Leopards football team that won the PIAA 3A State Championship game.
It was the first state title in school history.
Way to go, Quinton!
