Bleedin Green Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 It's always great to see this kind of stuff done. It's even that much better when you see it's being done by a guy who's not some sort of star player pulling in big money, but is still using the bit of fame and money he does have to do something good with it. It's also pretty cool when you've got a guy like Ellis who has been in the league for 5 seconds already jumping in on getting involved with a teammate's event like this.

From the few interviews that I have done with Emanuel he is very involved in the community and with giving back. I believe Ellis is a friend of his, but I know that he is taking part in all of the events the entire weekend. Good stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
