Grady Jarrett donates $50k to Atlanta-based youth programs

Atlanta Falcons defensive tackle Grady Jarrett showed Wednesday that he’s not only respectable on the field, but off it as well.

While appearing on radio station V103, Grady gave a $25,000 check to Greg Street’s We Need 2 Read program. The program transforms the intimidation of reading books into a fun and rewarding experience for students in the community. The other program Jarrett donated a $25,000 check to was YSportz, which is a local organization that creates celebrity athlete camps for youth.

”I support so much of what you do and the grind you put in on the daily to make impacts in kids’ lives, and I respect it so much.
