Brown said he’s reminded of his childhood when giving back, hoping to provide for children like he and his family received while he grew up.
“We didn’t have everything, so we had people that would help us,” Brown said. “I think about it all the time – those that helped me, helped my parents. It’s just one of those things in life where I’m just like, all the moments that I had growing up, there’s a kid out there just like me, growing up in that same situation I grew up in. I keep that mindset over and over and over again.”
Throughout the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Brown helped put together COVID-19 care baskets for five foster families needing essentials and supplies, which included $1,000 given to each family for day-to-day needs. He also held a drive-thru Halloween Extravaganza providing over $50,000 worth of in-kind Halloween costumes and candy.
Brown has also partnered with state officials and companies to combat food insecurity. His foundation feeds 100 veterans battling food insecurity each Veterans Day, started a program to give a shopping spree to 25 families in need, and provided 3,000 families in Gwinnett County with turkeys, produce, and non-perishable food for Thanksgiving.
For the past few summers, Brown has worked as a Nike community captain for his football camps in Sugar Hill, which include a donation of over $30,000 of in-kind support, gifts, food, and equipment.
