Michael Bennett pledges to provide 100 girls in Africa science, technology, arts skills

Michael Bennett continues to show his multiple, varied sides beyond football.

The Seahawks Pro Bowl defensive end and his wife Pele, parents of three daughters, have teamed with a global movement to provide 100 marginalized girls in three African countries opportunities in programs of science, technology, engineering, mathematics, arts and design (STEAMD).

Flori Liberos, head of communication for the African-led world organization iamtheCODE, sent me a press release Tuesday saying the player’s Bennett Foundation had partnered with her group in this initiative.
