Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown took kids from Boys & Girls Club of Camden County on a shopping spree

A.J. Brown is a team player.

After getting past the recent drama surrounding him and quarterback Jalen Hurts, the Eagles star wide receiver took local kids from the Boys & Girls Club of Camden County on a holiday shopping spree.

“My foundation is basically about mentorship, giving back to the community in any way possible, and supporting the kids,” Brown said at the event. “We’ve adopted over 1,100 kids. So, I’m super excited about that, and just trying to do anything in my power just to give back to the community.”

The A.J. Brown Foundation works to create a pathway for success that fosters resilience, confidence, and a brighter future for today’s youth.

Cliff Avril donates $50,000 to 4 local organizations impacted by COVID-19

The Cliff Avril Family Foundation donated $50,000 dollars to four local organizations who are working with people impacted by COVID-19.

Former Seattle Seahawks defensive end Cliff Avril announced that, along with the Cliff Avril Family Foundation, he will donate $50,000 to four different Seattle-area organizations that are providing resources to people impacted by COVID-19.

In a series of tweets, Avril confirmed the donation and talked about each of the four organizations, and how they are helping the community.

The four organizations include:

The Boys and Girls Club of King County, who are helping provide breakfast and lunch for underprivileged youth at the Joel E. Smilow Clubhouse and Teen Center at Rainier Vista.

Communities in Schools, who are providing resources for communities who are disproportionately affected by setting up a basic needs emergency fund.

HealthPoint, who are purchasing temporal thermometers for each testing site, to help insure drive-up testing sites are ready to meet patient needs.

Odessa Brown’s Children Clinic, who support low-income families in a variety of ways, including with food, hygiene products and general family needs.

Avril has been a dedicated member of the Seattle community since 2013, and remains a local fan favorite despite playing his final game with the Seahawks back in 2017.
