DeSean Jackson, CEO, of the DeSean Jackson Foundation, and Washington Redskins wide receiver Washington Redskins, will be hosting the “Shop With A Jock” event for 50 youth. The youth were selected by an independent, referral source that identified the youth from criteria based on family income, need and at-risk factor.

##
Each youth will be given a $100 Wal-Mart gift card for a personal shopping trip with DeSean Jackson and several Washington Redskins’ players. Jackson and his teammates will mentor the youth during the shopping trip on life skills, financial literary and, “Be the Change that You want to See in the World”. Jackson states that he enjoys seeing the smiles on the kids’ faces when they get their own $100 Wal-Mart gift card; then, the reality check when they have to budget by learning a ‘life lesson’ of how important it is to keep your “paper straight”, it’s not all about ‘the Benjamin’s’ and bling bling lifestyle of a professional athlete.
##
Gayle Jackson, DeSean Jackson Foundation president, states it is easy for the NFL players who volunteer their time for this event to make reach these children in a manner that no one can in a life-changing experience. We have been privileged to be affiliated with awesome NFL franchises that have supported our foundation and given us the platform to sustain and grow. We are humbled and blessed.
##
The Wal-Mart Foundation provided a $2,500 grant to the DeSean Jackson Foundation for the purchase of twenty-five (25) $100 gift cards for the event. DeSean Jackson, states that in the past the gift cards and shopping for the additional 25 youth was raised through monetary donations from the NFL players who participated in the event, Jackson and the DeSean Jackson Foundation.
##
Jackson hopes that his fans and sponsors will continue to support the event this year by making donations of Wal-Mart gift cards to match the Wal-Mart grant in various amounts either by forwarding to DeSean at the Washington Redskins or bringing directly the event where an authorized DeSean Jackson Foundation representative will be present.
##
The Wal-Mart store will be open to the public during the “Shop for the Jock” event to do their holiday shopping while the event is being held so we encourage Washington Redskins’ fans and media to come support DeSean Jackson and his fellow Washington Redskins’ players while they donate their time to give back to the community while impacting the lives of vulnerable children and families in our community.
