FOXBORO — Patriots linebacker Dont’a Hightower continues to do right by his mother, as he hosted another event last night to raise awareness for diabetes.
Hightower hosted a private screening of “Wonder Woman” at Patriot Place for a group of women who face daily struggles with diabetes. It’s a personal cause for Hightower, whose mother, L’Tanya, was diagnosed with diabetes a couple years ago. His grandmother and aunt also have been affected.
“My mom is my Wonder Woman, so what better movie to do it to?” Hightower said.
Hightower has also hosted “Monday Night Football” watch parties annually since 2015 to raise money for the American Diabetes Association.
