Philly recognizes DeSean Jackson’s foundation for ’10/10/10′ day

Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson received a resolution from the city of Philadelphia, recognizing him for the work of the DeSean Jackson Foundat10n in raising awareness about pancreatic cancer and working to find a cure.

The resolution is timed to the foundation’s plans for “10/10/10 Day,” an effort to inform 10 people of 10 awareness facts and to donate $10 to the DeSean Jackson Foundat10n on Oct. 10, 2010.

Jackson’s father, Bill, died from pancreatic cancer.

“DeSean Jackson is a phenomenal athlete; however pancreatic cancer is not a game,” Councilman Curtis Jones Jr. said in a statement. “The foundation was founded to provide relief to families and to spread awareness, especially in the African-American community, of this silent killer. It is my privilege to acknowledge the good work of our Philadelphia Eagle, on and off the field.”
