In December 2021, green and gold cornerback, Shemar Jean-Charles hosted a GET one, GIVE one blanket campaign to raise funds and awareness for Alzheimer’s and dementia. For every $35 donation made to his Walk to End Alzheimer’s® team, participants received a green and gold blanket and Jean-Charles pledged to donate a blanket to a senior care community in their honor. The campaign raised more than $14,000, and more than 300 blankets will be donated to senior care communities across Wisconsin.
Jean-Charles personally delivered a portion of the blankets to Marla Vista Assisted Living and Memory Care in Green Bay on Thursday, Jan. 27.
“I’m so glad I could team up with the Alzheimer’s Association this season,” said Jean-Charles, green
and gold cornerback. “It’s important to me to support my community and I wanted to give back to
families dealing with Alzheimer’s or dementia. I look forward to continuing my relationship with the
Alzheimer’s Association in the future.” CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO
