Jaxon Howard and Family to Continue Long-Standing Holiday Tradition of Hand-Delivering Turkeys and Meals to Minnesota Families
Minneapolis, MN - University of Minnesota Defensive End and Minnesota native, Jaxon Howard, along with his father, Willie, and, his sister, Aeyva will continue a Howard family Christmas-day tradition of hand-delivering turkeys and meals to as many as 20 sponsored Minnesota families this holiday season.
“The holiday season is our favorite time of year with some of my fondest childhood memories driving around town on Christmas morning with my Dad and my sister delivering turkeys to help people that really need them, that’s really what the holidays are all about,” Howard said.
For people wishing to help the Howard family with their mission, donations of any amount are welcomed and appreciated. $10 covers a side dish, $25 covers the cost of a turkey, $50 sponsors one family, $250 sponsors five families and all donations can be made directly through Howard’s FundRazr.
In his second year with his hometown Gophers, Howard had a major impact for the Minnesota defense this regular season with 27 tackles and four sacks.
“I’ve known the Howard family for a long, long time and they constantly amaze me with their kindness and propensity to give back,” said Blake Baratz, Founder of IFA. He continued, “Jaxon has always been an incredibly thoughtful young man that always leads by example and uses his platform to help others.”
