Ever since entering the NFL, Donte Moncrief has made it his mission to give back to his community.

While with the Colts in 2017, Moncrief had a fundraiser for his Game Changer Foundation that raised $40,000. That same year in July, he gave kids from the Boys & Girls Club of Indianapolis backpacks with school supplies. Moncrief also has his own youth football camp that he holds every summer in Mississippi called “You Gotta Believe.”

“Just growing up back at home in Mississippi and you don’t have anything,” Moncrief told Colts.com. “To go from not having anything to being able to have something is a big step. I know how I felt as a kid, so just being able to give back to kids who don’t have that is huge.”
