NFL Do-Gooders: Jason Allen
Written by MartiBall, Friday July 02 2010
The media is often filled with stories about athletes getting into trouble. Partying, drinking, drug use, arrests, etc. seems like everyday there’s a new story, but very seldom do we hear about the guys doing good. The ones staying out of trouble and giving back to their community like Miami Dolphins cornerback Jason Allen.
In 2008 Allen founded the J. Allen AllStars Foundation to benefit and empower disadvantaged youth both in South Florida and his hometown of Muscle Schoals, Alabama. Through the foundation he has helped enhance and enrich lives of children; by establishing and creating a support system through various academic and athletic programs usually not available to them. Serving approximately 2500 youth, the foundation has held free football camps, toy drives, backpack giveaways, Christmas programs, turkey drives, clothing donations, extracurricular enrichment programs, and sports activities throughout the year mostly during summer months because it is during this time when youth have lots of free time are most at risk of becoming involved in violence, crime, drugs, and unsafe behavior, and therefore, need programs the most.
Continuing his annual tradition Jason will be hosting his J. Allen Allstars weekend in Miami July, 9-11, 2010
If you are in the Miami area please go out and support this great cause.
