They hope to raise more than $10,000. You can donate or sign up by calling Big Brothers Big Sisters at 317-0753.

Some of the NFL players coming to the fundraiser is Todd Williams with the Tennessee Titans, Charles Grant with the New Orleans Saints, Alonzo Jackson with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Otis Leverette with the Seattle Seahawks, Vaughn Hebron with the Broncos and Fabian Walker, the quarterback for Valdosta State University. The team member coming from the Atlanta Falcons has not been announced.
