AJ Brown, the Wide Receiver of Philadelphia Eagles, is widely known for his exceptional performance on the football field. However, he extends his impact beyond the game through the charitable efforts of the AJ Brown Foundation. On December 19, 2023, the foundation organized a heartwarming Christmas shopping event at Target in Mount Laurel, NJ, which benefited six deserving high school students from the local community.
The AJ Brown Foundation operates under the fiscal sponsorship of Athletes Charitable, a division of United Charitable. They orchestrated a memorable event that surpassed the typical holiday festivities, aiming to bring joy to the lives of the high school students and create enduring memories during the festive season.
The highlight of the event was a guided shopping spree with AJ Brown himself. The students had the unique opportunity to explore categories ranging from essentials to gifts, ensuring they had everything needed for a memorable holiday season. Amidst laughter echoing through the aisles, AJ shared the joy of the season with the students, emphasizing the importance of giving back to the community. The event showcased Brown’s commitment to affecting positive change and reinforced his foundation’s dedication to creating a meaningful impact on the community.
United Charitable CEO Julia Healey expressed her thoughts on the event: “Giving back during the holidays is incredibly important to our clients, including AJ Brown. This event is not just about shopping; it’s about creating moments of happiness and warmth for these high school students in the community.”
