Jalyn Holmes Repping for Option2

As I take the next step toward my NFL dream, I have made an important decision to use my performance at the 2018 NFL Combine to support Option2, an amazing nonprofit educational program dedicated to providing services that will help student-athletes excel in life with or without sports.

Unfortunately, many of the youth in the area that I am from are economically disadvantaged, live in single parent households, and could possibly be first generation college students in their family. However many feel the only way to break the cycle of poverty is to become a professional athlete or entertainer. Option2 holds a special place in my heart, because they work to create a society in which every young student-athlete, regardless of background, understands the importance of integrity, excelling academically, and having other options.

Only an extremely small percentage of high school athletes go on to play professionally, and I feel it is very important to spread the message that you do not have to be a professional athlete in order to be considered successful. That is why I am asking you to join me in supporting Option2 by pledging for a donation for every bench press rep that I perform during the 2018 NFL Combine.

THANK YOU

Thank you for your generous support of this campaign, and of Option2’s mission to drive and motivate young student-athletes; pushing them to find and capitalize on passions outside of the field of play. Every little bit helps, and I’ll be training extra hard knowing that with your pledges, every rep I complete means more money raised for our youth.

Please don’t forget to share this campaign and your support on social media (Facebook, twitter, instagram, etc.).

Sincerely,

Jalyn Holmes
