Kawann Short starts Book Drive on Twitter

Recommended Posts

Short tells his Twitter followers that he is doing a fundraiser for kids back home in East Chicago. If they donate $1000, they get a signed jersey, football, and mini helmet. $1000 gets about 4000 books for kids in East Chicago. Any donations that others give, he will match 100%, so I thought that was pretty admirable. He just reached his goal a couple minutes ago, as people were eager to support. I thought some of you would like to know, whether to get prizes, help children with an education, or just admire what our fine young player is doing for others, I really like this guy. @kk_mr93 if you want to follow.

@kk_mr93: We are at 100% right now. Just need 0 more people to donate 0 each to my book drive. WE DID IT!!! #BooksForKids #ThankYouGOD

Awesome couple of threads from OP today.  This is great news.  Glad to see KK helping the community and giving back.

Good job by him. It's nice to see young guys use their success to help others. Some reverse math puts his goal at $5000. So if he matches the schools will get $10k. Very nice.

Oh it was only 5k? I thought each person he thanked gave 1k, I must have misunderstood.

No lol I think he was thanking people no matter what they gave. As many as he could. But he said 90% complete, then 100 people giving $5 would meet his goal. So 100x5= $500=10%. So 500x10= $5000.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks. Still a nice thing to do anyways.

Great thing for KK to do, especially with the current state of things in Chicago.  Love this guy!!!

 

But, I have to say...  When I read the thread title that "Short" and "Starts" right next to each other translated to "Short Sharts" somewhere between my eyes and the signal being sent to my brain.

    • to all the Low-T Betas crying about "pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza" / "we’ll get embarrassed if we admit we like it" stop the nonsense stop the embarrassment go back to watching The View with your girlfriend’s other boyfriend while eating your dry cheese-only slice like a toddler Pizza culture has not sniffed innovation in nearly a decade, a total abyss of pathetic, boring, flavorless display of culinary cowardice Do I think pineapple pizza is going to replace pepperoni and conquer the world, absolutely not Would I be excited to proudly order it anyway? hell yea and deep down you’d give up making out with your first cousin on the weekend to take a bite of a hot, fresh, pineapple slice We need to normalize pineapple on pizza to set the blocks for the future of flavor We have an up-and-coming generation of taste buds who need guidance a STUD of a topping that is COOKING a wrecking ball of sweetness that hits like a freight train a stud salty counterpart like ham or bacon to balance it a young buck of creativity for toppings that is just getting started a true #1 cheese holding it all together a solid crust foundation a sauce that is progressing It’s not perfect, it’s not traditional, but I am beyond elated with the direction pizza is going I will be in the pizzeria cheering on the boys stacking pineapple on that dough and so should you And for the national mouth breather association who will undoubtedly poo and flame everything I post… have a blessed day
    • I can't defend Richardsons failure to this point. And he is still as young as the rookies being taken this past season. I think he still could pan out.  XL is another case. I think he looked the part but some of his times and film showed he struggled separating and the fact he never showed up being good before his 5th season. Laad was my obvious choice at that point(tho I was banging the table to trade up and grab Thomas Jr when he fell into the 20s). Ladd didn't lack athleticism and had the route running and mental part to boot. Didn't see a weakness in his game expect he was smaller..
    • Surprised?  I wouldn't be surprised. I think you are missing my point. I'm not saying the Panthers won't extend Bryce.  I'm just saying that decision won't be based off one game.  This game is not going to decide if Bryce is released or given a 5-year deal.  Like, those are crazy extremes. The people who will be surprised are those who think the Panthers losing this week will automatically mean Bryce is gone in the offseason or won't be starting again for us next year, since that seems to be the only reason people are wanting them to lose.  Which is why I think it is silly to be rooting for that.  Because we can all pretend we know what the FO is thinking, but we don't.  So why not just enjoy the moment and the possibility of hosting a playoff game?  Like, what's the point of being a fan of the team if we can't even enjoy moments like this?  Just because of something that MIGHT happen in the offseason?
