Albertsons & Tom Thumb Join Dallas Cowboys Linebacker Sean Lee’s ‘sacks For Kids’

Press Release (ePRNews.com) - FRISCO, Texas - Aug 30, 2017 - Albertsons and Tom Thumb announced their partnership with Linebacker Sean Lee and the Dreambuilders Foundation as the presenting sponsor on the “Sacks for Kids” campaign to benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Metroplex.

Fans Pledge. We Perform. Kids Win.
Beginning August 15 through the 2017–2018 National Football League season, fans may pledge any dollar amount per defensive sack made by the Dallas Cowboys. At the end of each game, pledges made will result in monetary donations that directly benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of the Metroplex and their programs that currently serve thousands of youth in the North Texas area. One hundred percent of the funds raised will be paid out to the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Metroplex, a partnership between four organizations: Boys & Girls Clubs of Arlington, Collin County, Greater Dallas, and Greater Fort Worth.

To pledge, visit https://pledgeit.org/seanlee/ and join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter by following #SeanLee and #SacksForKids. Updates on the amount of funds raised will be announced each week through emails and social media postings.

“I’m proud to support the Boys & Girls Clubs in the Metroplex,” says Lee. “Helping to raise money for the club through each sack we have this season is a great way to support the programs they have for kids, and I hope Cowboys fans everywhere will join me in this campaign.”

In the past, Sean Lee’s Dreambuilders program has provided Boys & Girls Clubs with technology and equipment upgrades totaling more than $50,000. This includes the purchase of literacy software, as well as e-readers for Club Members to use.
