As the holidays are now here athletes are using their platform to help those who need it and make this time of year fun and one to remember. One such athlete is New York Jets lineback Brandon Copeland and 13 of his teammates treated 20 kids from Bronx Mott Haven Academy/The New York Founding to a pizza dinner and shopping spree. Making the trip to Target located in East Hanover, New Jersey and a $200 per child to use how they saw fit. These kids had a great time at the East Hanover Target, these are the type of things athletes do in the community that isn’t always recognized by the media. We at Nuts And Bolts Sports pride ourselves on showcasing the GREAT things athletes do in the community and how they pay it forward. I want to personally thank Brandon and his team for allowing us to share this and be a very small part of it. Brandon was not alone in this as he was joined by:
– Jonathan Celestin
– Eric Tomlinson
– Kevin Pierre-Louis
– Deontay Burnett
– Anthony Wint
– Dieugot Joseph
– Avery Williamson
– Folorunso Fatukasi
– Ben Braden
– Jordan Leggett
– Isaiah Crowell
– Jonotthan Harrison
– Bronson Kaufusi
