Malik Jackson – Helping Hands for Freedom, Lucky 7 for Kids Campaign
This year, the Denver Broncos nominated defensive end Malik Jackson for the NFL Salute to Service Award for his extensive work with Colorado military families.
Jackson partnered with Helping Hands for Freedom to serve as a spokesman for the organization and work together to support military children and families who are thrust into tough situations of deployment, injury or loss.
Jackson recently teamed up with Helping Hands for Freedom to launch its Lucky 7 for Kids Campaign, which aims to raise money by encouraging 100,000 people to donate $7 to the campaign. All donations will be directed to Helping Hands for Freedoms’ four military youth program areas: Life Enrichment, Sports & Education, Life Assistance and the Dream “Chaser” Program.
Jackson hosted his first youth football camp in Colorado Springs, Colo., for children ages 8-14 in July and teamed up with Helping Hands for Freedom to offer complimentary entry for children of military families. He chose to host his three-day camp in Colorado Springs because of the large population of military families with its proximity to the Air Force Academy and Fort Carson military base.
