Jalen Hurts Foundation

Champions recognize champions. Jalen's game-worn cleats from the My Cause My Cleats initiative are up for auction, celebrating the true MVPs—the fighters at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. 🤝 They were co-designed with three young oncology patients who later joined Jalen on gameday with matching kicks.

"The most important quality that we share in this room is that we all are in pursuit of something greater than ourselves." Beyond the game. When action replaces words, transformation happens. Last night, Jalen Hurts was honored with The Philadelphia Citizen of the Year Award. Jalen Hurts champions Philadelphia's students and educators by creating environments where learning can flourish without distraction. With an all-female management team and the power of purpose, he's proving that true champions lift entire communities. In a room full of changemakers—educators, disruptors, and social justice champions—this is about more than individual achievement. It's about collective impact. #LinkedInSports #NFL #Philadelphia #Community #Impact

Philadelphia First. Together with our Philadelphia community, we worked to create meaningful change in 2024 - supporting students with improved learning environments, expanding access to youth programs, and building bridges through financial literacy education. Each initiative grew from a shared vision of more substantial, nurturing schools, from classroom air conditioning units to sustainable supply closets. Moving into 2025, we remain grateful for every partner, volunteer, and community member who helps turn possibilities into progress. #LinkedInSports #Foundation #Charity #Philadelphia

Kicking off 2025 with January's book of the month - Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown. The novel presents a counterintuitive yet compelling approach to professional effectiveness. The book challenges the prevailing notion that maximizing productivity means doing more. At its core, McKeown's framework advocates for systematically evaluating priorities. This isn't merely about time management - it represents a fundamental shift in how one approaches decision-making. The book's central argument suggests that many high-achievers fall into the "success paradox": as their capability and reputation grow, they face increasing demands on their time and attention. Without a disciplined approach to selectivity, this often leads to diminishing returns on effort. What distinguishes this work from conventional productivity literature is its focus on strategic elimination rather than optimization. The highest professional impact comes not from doing more reasonably well but a few crucial things exceptionally well. #LinkedInSports #Reading #BookOfTheMonth
