Packer’s Going Above & Beyond
The NFL player’s association has awarded Aaron Jones the Week 3 Community MVP runner-up for his work with the A & A All the Way Foundation. Packers running back Jones partnered with his twin brother and former Ravens linebacker Alvin Jones Jr. in 2020 to launch the Foundation.
According to Jones, the Foundation’s goal is to “impact the lives of the nation’s youth through charitable giving and action.” The brothers have held community events in Texas and Wisconsin, including Thanksgiving Turkey giveaways, Christmas Bicycle giveaways, and, most recently, the third year of the Yards for Shoes campaign. The Foundation will donate shoes to a Boys & Girls Club in Wisconsin for every rushing yard Packer’s running backs gain this season. Last weekend Jones was at the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Green Bay, giving out tee shirts and shoes.

Alvin Jr, who resides in Green Bay, has stated he wants to give people hope, “You can make it out of any situation.” It starts with hope. The Foundation also takes an active role in the veteran community. Aaron and Alvin Jr. are the children of two returned U.S. army sergeants. They were both raised with a sense of responsibility to give back to their communities. If you want to help, the Foundation is currently holding a fundraising raffle. A donation of $10 enters you one chance to win a jersey signed by Aaron Jones and two tickets to London. You can find out more information about the A&A All The Way Foundation on their website www.aaalltheway.org.
