JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – During his second annual Bowling Classic at Main Event Entertainment, Jaguars defensive end Calais Campbell announced a new way he plans to give back to the community.
Campbell said during the off-season, and each month during the regular season, he will make a donation to different local charities. He called it a “season of giving.”
On Tuesday night, Campbell’s charity presented a $15,000 check to the Ronald McDonald House, a non-profit that helps families who need to be near a hospital as a child undergoes medical treatment.
Campbell personally donated $10,000 of his own money and said that any money raised during his silent auction during the bowling tournament would go straight to the charity.

Would there be way we could make this happen
Good morning,
I am an intern with the Times-Union and am currently pursuing a story about Calais Campbell’s Season of Giving. I was hoping to ask a few questions about the various charities receiving donations through his initiative and what it means for them, what inspired Calais’ idea to continue to give back to the community in a creative way, and what he has planned for the future with the Charles Richard Campbell foundation.
I appreciate your time in reading this and look forward to the possibility of hearing from you soon.
Thank you.
