LA Rams “Giving Tuesday”

In honor of “Giving Tuesday,” the Los Angeles Rams players are awarding $750,000 to 25 non-profits focused on social justice across the greater Los Angeles region. 

The Rams invited 25 social justice non-profits to share with the players information about their work, those they serve and how the players could be of the greatest assistance.

After listening and learning, the players rewarded each organization with a donation ranging from $20,000 to $50,000. 

MICHAEL BROCKERS, JOHNNY HEKKER, SEBASTIAN JOSEPH-DAY and ANDREW WHITWORTH helped lead the process, participating in virtual conversations with the organizations and determining how to allocate the funds.

“As a leader on this team, it was important to me to be part of these conversations,” said Brockers.

“My teammates and I are very aware of the social injustices that continue to occur, and we made a decision to become actively involved in helping to be part of the change that is desperately needed. 

It was awesome to hear from so many different leaders and non-profits that are putting the work in to make real change and I’m honored to support them.” 

“In my 15 years in the NFL, this has definitely been one of the most inspiring things that I have had the opportunity to be part of,” said Whitworth. 

“It was an amazing process that allowed us to learn about a variety of non-profits working across Los Angeles to positively impact lives and advance social justice.

The chance to hear directly from them on how we could help left us both humbled and motivated.

On behalf of my teammates, we thank them for their daily passion and commitment to drive equity and are proud to support their important work.”
