Proceeds benefit Dreambuilders Foundation in support of City Year Detroit
This season, with the help of my teammates, I’m inviting fans to help make a difference in the lives of Detroit’s children in the Scores For Kids challenge.
Make a pledge for every touchdown Marvin and the Lions score during the 2016 season. Proceeds will go to Marvin’s Dreambuilders program and its support of City Year.
When you make a pledge of at least $1 per touchdown or a flat donation of $20 or more, you will be entered to win a signed helmet. (Minimum donation of $20 for the season to be entered to win the drawing at the end of the season. Winner will be notified by email at the end of the season.)
When you make a pledge of $10 per touchdown or more or a flat donation of at least $400, you will receive a special invitation for two to a reception with Marvin Jones Jr., where you and a guest will meet Marvin and each get a special autographed gift and a photo. Complementary food and drinks will also be provided. (Minimum donation of at least $400 for the season to attend the reception. You will be contacted by email with your invitation to the event.)
City Year’s mission is to build democracy through citizen service, civic leadership and social entrepreneurship. City Year fulfills this mission by focusing its service on education and helping kids graduate from high school, ready for college and career success. City Year unites highly motivated, young individuals, AmeriCorps members, from diverse ethnic, educational and socio-economic backgrounds to engage in a year of full-time service, leadership development, and civic engagement. As tutors, mentors and role models, City Year AmeriCorps members are deployed in teams to high-poverty, urban schools to provide high-impact student, classroom, and school-wide support. In Detroit 71 AmeriCorps members serve in 7 schools to support 5,000 students every day.
A proud member of the AmeriCorps national service network, City Year is made possible by support from the Corporation for National and Community Service, school district partnerships, and private philanthropy from corporations, foundations, and individuals.
This campaign goes beyond football, it’s about giving to those who truly need and deserve our support. Thank you for supporting my cause and all of your support throughout my career!
