Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson doesn't just support those on the field, he also supports those off of it. On Tuesday, the Pro Bowler announced his new initiative: to give back to the community, in the form of the Deshaun Watson Foundation.
Watson's new foundation is a non-profit with the goal of supporting education, health, housing, and other charitable causes to assist families and youth in underserved communities.
“I am humbled and honored that I have the opportunity to make a difference and positively impact children and families in need through the Deshaun Watson Foundation,” said Watson in a statement. “I would not be where I am today without help from others. Now it’s my turn to step in and make a difference through the Foundation.”
The foundation is off to a hot start, as it will host their first event on Oct. 29th at Sunnyside High School (Houston). Named The Great Houston Halloween Bash presented by Reliant, the school will be transformed into a festival that will include activities to participate in. There will be a costume contest, with free costumes provided by the foundation.
“Houston is Reliant’s hometown, which is why we couldn’t be more excited to team up with Deshaun Watson to help make a difference for local communities in need,” said Elizabeth Killinger, president of Reliant. “Deshaun is a power player for our city – on and off the field – and we look forward to supporting his first event, The Great Houston Halloween Bash presented by Reliant.”
More information on the foundation can be found at DeshaunWatsonFoundation.org, or on their Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
