5th Annual Mr. Strong Run for St. Jude, DeSean Jackson Foundation, Gayle and DeSean Jackson, Joel Pugh, Smyth Farm Bureau, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

December 10, 2014

[Reprint by The DeSean Jackson Foundation, 12/10/2014, 3:00 P.M.]

To:       Gayle Jackson, President, The DeSean Jackson Foundation

Dear Gayle,

I just wanted to give you an update on our fundraiser this past weekend in memory of Thomas Musser, the Mr. Strong Run/Walk for St. Judes.  Please share with DeSean and Joie our most sincere appreciation.

Thomas Musser - Mr. Strong

Thomas Musser – Mr. Strong

We had approximately 100+ people attend the event locally and another 21 went to Memphis.  13 of those folks ran at that event at St Judes. 6 ran the full marathon, 3 ran the half marathon and 4 ran the 5k.  The other 8 cheered for over 5 hours as all runners competed.

All together just over $10,000 was raised for St Judes by our group.

 The group photo shows the St. Judes group.  Thomas’ father Ed is the man at the far right and his 2 twin brothers Matthew and Andrew are kneeling on the front right.  Beside the twins is Colby Sprouse, another St Jude patient that is from our community!!

I have attached a photo of Tommy Burkett…he is a HUGE Eagles fan and was thrilled to donate/get the autographed card.  He lamented all day how much he misses DeSean being on his prized Philadelphia Eagles!!

The photo that is labeled Jack Mason are my two sons standing in admiration of the poster they donated money to get.  They were so proud to hang this in their room.

Lastly the photo below shows Susan Spraker (the lead person on this fine event) presenting Cody the DeSean Jackson plaque at the conclusion of the race.  She said you cannot tell from the picture but he cried tears of joy when they presented him such a nice token at the race’s conclusion.  He is a huge fan of the Washington Redskins and DeSean Jackson.  Thanks again SO MUCH!!!

Susan and Cody

The Thomas Musser Mr. Strong Run/Walk raised $57,800 in the first 4 years and this was the 5th anniversary of run/walk so that means somewhere in the neighborhood of $67,800 has been raised for St. Judes over the 5 years run/walks have been done counting this year’s donations.  This is the second year that we were privileged to partner with DeSean Jackson, of the Washington Redskins and The DeSean Jackson Foundation.

Thanks again for the nice donations.  It was MUCH appreciated!!

According to the American Cancer Society, Pancreatic Cancer is the number “4” cancer killer in the U.S, and the only one that does not have a known cure. The lack of early detection methods and research continues to slow progress towards a cure.  There is no known cure for this deadly disease and over 42,400 people – 116 + per day are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer each year.

In the last 5 years more than 210,000 people have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and over 92% of those individuals have passed away during the first year of their diagnosis. While only 5% of those living past the first year live to the fifth year and 3% of those will succumb to the disease sometime beyond that point.

Pancreatic Cancer is one of the few cancers for which survival has not improved substantially over the last 25 years. Those that make it past the first year have been known to live significantly longer today than those diagnosed before 2006.

Tailgate-4

On behalf of DeSean Jackson, CEO, and Gayle Jackson, President,  of The DeSean Jackson Foundation, we extend our sincere thanks to Everyone who helped make it possible to secure consideration to be a ‘charity of choice’ for the, “Home for the Holidays Tail Gate Party”, on Sunday, November 16, 2014, in memory of DeSean’s father, William “Bill” Jackson, during National Pancreatic Awareness Month.

Tailgate12

DeSean Jackson was unable to attend the event because he was preparing to for the Washington Redskins’ game with Tampa Bay, at Fed Ex Field scheduled for later that day.  Gayle Jackson represented the DeSean Jackson Foundation at the event; and, is known across the nation as being one of the most colorful, outspoken, fun-loving mothers in the NFL; an advocate for Pancreatic Cancer Awareness and oversees the personal and professional affairs of her NFL All Pro son.

Gayle had and awesome time raising awareness to Pancreatic Cancer and “Turning Up” the Tail Gate Party in #11 Mode before the game.  Washington Redskins’, die-hard fans were formally introduced to Our, “Ms. GeeJay“!  First and foremost, Gayle thanked the fans for support her son, DeSean, on and off the field and embracing the entire Jackson Family. – DeSean Jackson Foundation Staff

DeSean Jackson Donates Auction Items for ‘Home for the Holidays Tail Gate Party’

DeSean Jackson, Gayle and DeSean Jackson, Home for the Holidays Tail Gate Party, Washington Redskins

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tailgate Flyer

Gayle Jackson, President, The DeSean Jackson Foundation, and mother of NFL All Pro, Washington Redskins, wide receiver, DeSean Jackson, advised the sponsors of Sunday’s pre-game tail gate party at Fed Ex Field that her son will donate an autographed plague for an auction to raise funds for his foundation that was incorporated to raise awareness to Pancreatic Cancer in memory of his father, William “Bill” Jackson.  Mrs. Jackson also stated that a Washington Redskins’ Jersey, in DeSean’s infamous #11 Mode, has also been donated by her son for the auction.

AUCTION ITEM

Furthermore, Mrs, Jackson states that Sunday will be bittersweet for DeSean and her family because November is National Pancreatic Awareness Month; and Bill, will not be here to see DeSean exit the tunnels onto Field Ex Field; and, Desean will not have Bill make that end of the game call to critique the entire game; strategize for next week; and, end the call by saying I Love You, DeSean”.

The analogy between the theme for Sunday’s tail gate party ‘Home For the Holidays’ and the fact that the Washington Redskins, the City and our awesome fan base has embraced us is almost overwhelming”, states Mrs. Jackson.  We thank you from the bottom of our hearts and–We Are Home!
