DeSean Jackson, of the Philadelphia Eagles, donated $30,000 to the Cali Bears Youth Football and Cheerleaders, an American Youth Football League (“AYF”), Southern King Conference, team, based in Los Angeles, in response to an appeal from the team to Mr. Jackson, for crucial funding to save the organization’s 2019 season. The Cali Bears Youth Football Team serves over 150 disadvantaged, inner-city youth, in South Central Los Angeles; and, was founded in 2018. Crucial funds were needed for uniforms, equipment, referee and venue fees; and, without these funds the entire season was in jeopardy.

Gayle Jackson, President, of DeSean Jackson Foundation, on behalf of DeSean Jackson and his foundation, presented the check to Leila Sedighan of the Southern California King Conference, Cali Bears Youth Football Team.

As the DeSean Jackson Foundation’s president, Gayle Jackson emphasizes the importance of the foundation’s mission and goals. “The foundation was established in honor of DeSean’s father, William ‘Bill’ Jackson, who sacrificed his life to put his son in a position to do what he’s doing today,” Mrs. Jackson said.

Bill dedicated his life to building a structured foundation and deterrent against negative influences for DeSean by utilizing sports in his formative years. [Frequently, Bill had DeSean play for several teams simultaneously which required changing uniforms in the car between games.]

“DeSean gives back because my son believes, in his heart, that the reason he’s blessed is to be a blessing; and, DeSean also believes he is responsible for preserving Bill’s vision and instilled values to never forget where you came from and those left behind; and, sometimes that works to his detriment; but, he is indeed his father’s son.”

“That’s what the DeSean Jackson Foundation is about: Mentoring, empowering and building confidence in these young kids,” Gayle Jackson said. “To me, that can change a person’s life; and, that’s is what DeSean Jackson, the Philadelphia Eagles’ All-Pro wide receiver, has continued to do throughout his 12 years in the NFL.”

Philadelphia, PA, 9/13/2019

Philadelphia Eagles began their 2019 NFL season, at home, against the Washington Redskins, September 8, in a NFC East match up; and, a phenomenal homecoming for DeSean Jackson back to the Philadelphia Eagles and Lincoln Financial Field.

GAME DAY 10 The Jackson Family – Pre-Game – On the Field

DeSean Jackson‘s immediate family and a host of friends and fans traveled to Philadelphia to support DeSean during this monumental milestone in his personal and professional career in the NFL.

GAME DAY2 Adreea (Jacksoon) Clay and her sons, Kameron and Jaiden (DeSean’s Sister and Nephews)

During the game, the Philadelphia Eagles came back to beat the Washington Redskins, 32-27, behind a classic “D-JAX, Cali Swag” performance: eight catches for 154 yards and two touchdowns.
With 31 career touchdown receptions of 50 yards or more, Jackson trails only Jerry Rice (36) for the all-time record. After his second score—for 53 yards—Jackson somersaulted twice, then found his teammates and shimmied in front of cameras.
