“Cornerback Richard Sherman of the San Francisco 49ers made a donation of more than $,7400 to cover Cabrillo Middle School’s cafeteria debts.”
“CBS SF Bay Area reported that Sherman’s foundation, Blanket Coverage, the Richard Sherman Foundation, also sent a letter to the school’s nutrition department. The letter stated that the charity found that covering lunch debt is often the helpful to families. “We have found that eliminating student lunch debt is one way to help assist students and their families in relieving some of the stress that comes with attending school on a daily basis,” the letter read. “The last thing any child should have to worry about is being able to afford eating breakfast and lunch at school; we aim to do our part in eliminating that obstacle.”
“Blanket Coverage has worked to provide low-income communities with both clothing and school supplies since 2013. Sherman also tries to instill the values of setting and achieving goals to students, the same way he feels NBA star Magic Johnson did for him when he was a student, according to his website.”
