Eagles QB Jalen Hurts instills a message of inspiration during his day of giving back to Philadelphia community.
"Because we all know that there's going to be adversities along the way, there’s going to be struggles along the way," Hurts later told USA TODAY Sports. "But being able to lean on someone you trust, that’s going to push you forward and kind of uplift you to higher heights and new heights."
Getting to the kids before high school is the key, KB Foundation vice president of operations and programs Justin Fishman said. The personal mentorship is why Hurts was drawn to the organization. Truist provided the mahogany-colored journals and also funded a trip for four students in the KB program to travel to Côte d'Ivoire. The first stop was Hurts' longest of the day because of his connection to the KB Foundation, which happened by pure chance. Over the summer, Hurts was filming a commercial at the Phield House where the KB Foundation was holding its Saturday basketball clinic .
The scene should be in the next season of"Abbott Elementary." Kids asked questions like"how tall are you?" and"My teacher has a huge crush on you, can you take a picture with her?" What resulted was a luncheon inside the gymnasium. A"Do it for No. 62," Elizalde's number, hung on the wall. As the team waited, Hurts met privately with the family for 20 minutes. "If there's one thing I learned about the city of Philadelphia," Hurts told the room,"it's that we're gonna do it all together."
