{ Rashard Mendenhall, DeSean Jackson, Jerricho Cotchery and Mewelde Moore discuss their passion for community service. }
Author: Khalil Garriott, NFLPlayers.com EditorPosted: 9/27/2011

Though players have different allegiances to their respective teams, one thing all players in the NFL can agree on is the importance of community service. In this exclusive to NFLPlayers.com, a handful of players share their thoughts on what service means to them. Read below for soundbites on the value of service directly from these four players.

DeSean Jackson, wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles; founder of the DeSean Jackson Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer on …

What does community service mean to you?

“Community service means giving of my time and my talent to help out with a cause that is near and dear to my heart.”

Why is community service important to you?

“Community service is important because it enables me to give back to those communities that helped mold me into the football player and entrepreneur that I am today.”

Jackson’s Mother to Attend Anti-Bullying Speech By Upper Darby Teen Nadin

Philadelphia Inquirer (Philly.Com)

Jackson’s mother to attend anti-bullying speech by Upper Darby teen Nadin Khoury

September 16, 2011|By Jonathan Tamari, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

Nadin Khoury, the Upper Darby teenager who gained national attention after being attacked by bullies Jan. 11, will be giving an anti-bullying speech in Washington Friday, with DeSean Jackson’s mother expected in the audience.

Khoury and the Eagles wide receiver became friendly after a group of harassers videotaped their torment of the teen, and the video gained national attention. The story gained even more traction when Jackson and fellow Eagles players Todd Herremans and Jamaal Jackson surprised Khoury on The View, offering encouragement.

Now Khoury, 14, is set to be an “ambassador” for a proposed educational show called Listen to Our Voices, which is intended to promote an anti-bullying message that organizers hope can air during the school year.

“I’m just going to talk about how I turned something from a negative to a positive,” Khoury said.

“He’s basically lending his voice to speak up against bullying so that other children don’t have to go through what he went through,” said Joelle Goode, founder and CEO of JMG Productions and executive producer of Listen to Our Voices.

Gayle Jackson, DeSean’s mother, will be in the audience as part of the event.

At the launch Friday, Goode plans to screen a trailer for the program, with the hopes of having the full show ready by May or June.

As part of the launch event, Goode said she will unveil initiatives that seek to recruit NFL players, celebrities, and players’ mothers to speak out against bullying.

“DeSean’s mom has taken a big lead in that in helping other NFL moms to get involved,” Goode said.

The Eagles wide receiver won’t be at the Friday night event, but Goode hoped he could shoot a taped message for Khoury. That aspect is not confirmed yet, though.

Khoury and Gayle Jackson have also been working on an anti-bullying public service announcement with North Carolina-based White Light Productions.

In the January incident that first gained notoriety, seven attackers dragged Khoury through the snow, stuffed him into a tree and hung him by his coat on an iron fence. One of the bullies recorded video of the harassment on a cellphone.
