More than a season. 🦅💙
This year, our players became mentors, role models, and friends.
Through our buddy program, each player was paired with a young buddy, kicking things off at the Eagles locker room with backpacks full of school supplies and Eagles gear, then showing up week after week to visit them at school. Just to check in. Just to hang out. Just to be there.
And the kids grew. There’s nothing like walking the halls as the most popular kid in school next to a guy in an Eagles jersey. 😎
Community is one of our four pillars, and this program is exactly why. Watching these buddies cross the stage at graduation, we know this made a real, lasting difference in their lives.
A huge thank you to the Surrey School District for helping us find the kids who’d benefit most all season long, and to the Rick Hart Foundation for the support that built the foundation for this program. Here’s to many more years to come. 🙌
