Hopefully we as fans can look at these examples and realize the impact it can have on a community and even the world.

 

Of course Warrick Dunn and Bob Saunders aren’t going to fix all of the worlds problems by themselves. However, with the work of many people humanity can make the world a better place at all levels.

 

Take a cause that is close to your heart and think about what you would like to do to help.

 

Whether there were people in your family who were touched by cancer or your town’s youth programs are lacking funding, find a way to get in there and help.

 

Evaluate what you can donate, whether it is your time and expertise or your money, every little bit can help when many people are giving.

 

For example my work has a program with Centraide (the United Way) where I donate a portion of my pay check to the organization and I can even ask that it be used towards a specific cause.

 

Everybody with a full time job can afford to donate a little bit of money to an organization or cause of their choice. If you don’t have a full time job, maybe you can donate some of your time.

 

Although most of us will never reach the stardom of athletes like Warrick Dunn, Andre Agassi or Roger Federer, rest assured if we offer to help out in anyway with a cause that is dear to our heart we will be making a difference that will be remembered.
