“I Cheer For the Punter” - Awesome Story

[Angie]

The Ames school district has a large number of students whose negative lunch balances keep adding up every year. Citizens can donate individually to the school’s “Lunch Hero” balance donation program.

…Enter Tyler Perkins. He is donating his NIL money from his RAYGUN shirt to this program, helping children in the Ames community with food security. That is a freaking hero:

College athletics is not dead yet. I love this.

Well done, young man. Wish this stuff got more publicity than it does - too many stories of the negative variety.

It used to annoy me, so I set up the auto-replenish if either gets below $35! Now I don’t ever get any texts!

I agree with both of you! It is honestly just lovely. And to see him giving back specifically to Ames is also really, really cool. Great heart on him.

The limit needs to be lower than $25, the last one I got was for my kid having $22 in their account!

Yeah, I'm the dad so I don't know how to do that, but I do get the emails.

Thanks for sharing....it reminded me to make a donation to WeWill.

@Mr Janny resembles this, as well. I am going to guess you also were not in charge of registration last week!

I've always liked kickers/punters (they're usually very interesting people ... heh), and this only adds to it. Might have to get one of Tyler's shirts.
