LeSean McCoy has become one of the best running backs in the game. But he hasn’t let that get to his head. In fact, as busy as he is nowadays in the NFL, he still finds time to organize all sorts of charity events, including the founding the LeSean McCoy Foundation, which raises money for ALS, a disease that claimed the life of his grandmother.
“She’s looking down smiling right now,” McCoy told Class Act Sports at his first annual softball outing which raised over $100,000 for ALS.
Ravens running back Damien Berry gave Class Act Sports a hand with the interviews at the event, and McCoy was happy to see him supporting the cause.
“He doesn’t even know that I was a fan of him when he was in college. I watch your game I respect your game. Now you’re a Raven. We are going to play y’all. I want the best for you, as long as we win,” McCoy said. The Eagles and Ravens play each other in the second week of the NFL season.
At 24, McCoy is well beyond his years in maturity. He is a genuine, down-to-earth guy, which is why he has no problem doing things for charity or anything that will help children.
“The kids come out here and see the type of event we have. It shows them a good sign, so when they get older they can do the same type of stuff. And also, this is for a good cause. ALS, is a tough disease,” he told Class Act Sports.
