Deion Branch is not only an all-star on the gridiron he is one in the community as well. This past Tuesday through the Deion Branch Charitable Foundation he donated Thanksgiving dinner to more than 100 families from Zion Preparatory Academy in Seattle.

Each family received a frozen turkey and two grocery bags filled with rolls, stuffing, vegetables, potatoes, and pumpkin pie. The families also received the opportunity to meet Deion one-on-one to shake hands, pose for pictures, and get some autographs.

 

"I have so much to be thankful for this year," said Branch. "This community and its fans have greeted me with open arms and I can thank them for their kindness by helping those who may need a little assistance for this special holiday. It's good to see the kids smile and know that they are going to have a great Thanksgiving."

Over the past 20 years, Zion Preparatory Academy has consistently developed a nurturing, educational environment to serve the children of Rainier Valley and the Greater Seattle area. The Academy offers a unique opportunity for the area's African-American youth to grow and learn to their potential in a family, Christian-based environment.
