Brady and Wilsons team up to throw in millions to feed those in need
April 4, 2020 ~ Super bowl winning quarterbacks are not usually on the same team, but during the recent coronavirus pandemic we have two QBS that have recently held up the Lombardi Trophy do just that. Per a story on ABCNews.go.com by writer Hayley FitzPatrick, (full article here) Tom Brady has recently pledged funding that will provide 10 million meals to the the Feeding America non-profit through the “’Meals Up” program started by private aviation company, Wheels Up and also funded by donations of Seahawks QB Russell Willson and his wife, Star singer, Ciara.
A Tuesday, March 31, 2020 tweet by Russell Wilson stated, “Humbled for @Ciara & I to partner with @WheelsUp on the “Meals Up” Initiative in pledging 10 Million Meals to @FeedingAmerica.”
According to the report every dollar donated to the Meals Up program provides up to 10 meals for those in need.
Tom Brady who made headlines a week earlier by leaving the New England Patriots after 20 NFL seasons, to be the signal caller for his new team the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, continues to dominate the sports headlines with his philanthropy to those who have become unwilling victims to the recent pandemic. You too can donate to this worthy cause at the the Wheels up Meals up site.
We enjoy giving the special call out of these generous acts of kindness by these two Super stars of the gridiron and their families to feed families who are less fortunate. We celebrate you and all in our football family that are there to do great things for others. If our readers are aware of anyone else associated with any level of American football that has done a great act of kindness, please let us know via email at PigskinDispatch@gmail.com and we will get one of the crack staff to get an article up to celebrate these good people of football.
