Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin received a well-deserved title this week – Community MVP.
“As I embark on my journey to the NFL, I will never forget where I come from and I am committed to using my platform to positively impact the community that raised me,” Hamlin said on his GoFundMe page when it was first posted.
“I created The Chasing M's Foundation as a vehicle that will allow me to deliver that impact, and the first program is the 2020 Community Toy Drive. This campaign gives you the opportunity to contribute to our first initiative and positively impact children who have been hardest hit by the pandemic.”
While the fundraiser was initially solely aimed at helping the community at large, the charity evolved into something bigger – a support system for the recovery of Hamlin since Monday night’s tragedy. When the NFLPA names a Community MVP, the association donates $10,000 to the charity of the winner’s choice so that players can continue to make the difference they strive to make.
