Marnie Schneider
A Philadelphia native, Marnie’s life has been driven by sports. Her grandfather, Leonard Tose, was the owner of the Philadelphia Eagles and the founder of the Ronald McDonald House. His dedication to family, charity, and sports taught Marnie the importance of giving back, something she has carried forward into her career in the nonprofit sector. Marnie is the founder of the Keep On Playing Foundation, whose mission is to give underprivileged children the opportunity to learn confidence, leadership, and the importance of teamwork through sports. She is the author of four children’s books in the Football Freddie & Fumble the Dog series: Gameday in Philadelphia, Gameday in the Carolinas, Gameday in Atlanta, and Gameday in Pittsburgh (forthcoming, April 2019).The fifth book, Gameday in Chicago, is expected in fall 2019.
