The A&A Peterson Family Foundation is teaming up with The Athletes’ Corner and Feeding America® to help provide meals* for every touchdown scored by the Seahawks
December 10th, 2021 – SEATTLE, WA— This past Sunday was an incredible moment for newly signed Seattle Seahawks running back and future Hall of Famer, Adrian Peterson. The 2012 NFL MVP and 7x Pro-Bowler made his season debut for the Hawks, and immediately left his mark on NFL History, tying the legend Jim Brown for 10th-Most Career Touchdowns (126). Despite being signed earlier in the week, Adrian and his wife Ashely wasted no time in helping the communities in Seattle through their A&A Peterson Family Foundation.
In partnership with The Athletes’ Corner, in support of Feeding America®, The Petersons have shifted their ‘All Day Holiday Meals 2.0’ Campaign from Tennessee to Seattle, to help provide food to those who need it most during the holidays. For every touchdown the Seahawks score, the organizations will help provide 5,000 meals to a local food bank in Seattle called Food Lifeline. When Adrian Peterson scores, including his historic touchdown on Sunday, they will double it up and help provide 10,000 meals. With four Seahawks touchdowns scored on Sunday, Peterson’s campaign will help provide 25,000 meals.
Adrian initially launched his ‘All Day Holiday Meals 2.0’ initiative a month ago, where he helped provide meals for every touchdown the Titans scored during his three games with the organization. The Titans scored eight touchdowns during November, which means Adrian and his foundation will team up with The Athletes’ Corner and Feeding America® to help provide 45,000 meals to food banks in Tennessee.
Adrian, his foundation, and The Athletes’ Corner are working to help provide as many nourishing meals as possible to families in need. If you are interested in helping the cause in any way, please contact Brennen Creer from The Athletes’ Corner via email: brennen@theathletescorner.org
