Buccaneers wide receiver pledges donation to animal rescue per catch

This season, Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin has an incentive for catching passes on Sundays. For every catch that Godwin makes, he is pledging $50 to rescue dogs. This effort is working with Team Godwin Foundation which aims to provide at-risk children and animals a second chance through advocacy and financial support.

Thousands of cats and dogs are euthanized daily across the United States because they can’t find homes and can’t be supported by shelters. Godwin told The Athletic “A lot of people don’t know [about shelters]. Hopefully, we’re doing what we can to influence people in the right direction, so they can buy in, one dog at a time.
