BEREA, Ohio – Starting Dec. 1 and through the month of December, the Cleveland Browns will host its "Month of Giving" with a focus on giving back to the city of Cleveland and Northeast Ohio during the holiday season through a number of events as part of Browns Give Back.
"Month of Giving" is an annual Browns tradition that throughout December, Browns players, coaches and staff participate in special community events and make meaningful contributions to deserving organizations or individuals as part of the team's yearlong commitment to promoting education, youth football and social justice, as well as inspiring others through the signature First and Ten volunteering movement.
"We're so thrilled to announce our second annual Browns Give Back 'Month of Giving' to help those in need and recognize those who have gone above and beyond for others this year," said Haslam Sports Group Vice President of Community Relations, Jenner Tekancic. "The holidays can be a time of need for so many and we want to use the 'Month of Giving' as a vehicle to uplift and support our community through a shared love of football."
In addition, the Cleveland Browns Foundation and its Stay in the Game! Attendance Network will continue its efforts across Northeast Ohio to fight chronic absenteeism in schools and show appreciation toward educators in the community by hosting events for students and educators throughout the month.
The "Month of Giving" will include special announcements including the Browns' Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year nominee, 2024 Cleveland Browns High School Coach of the Year and Jim Brown Changemaker Award nominee and the unveiling of a newly designed Stay in the Game! Room, along with annual events including G Joel Bitonio's 'Shop with a Pro', S Grant Delpit's Third Annual Toy Drive and 'Deck the House' which supports Providence House and announces the Browns' 2024 Ed Block Award Recipient.
Throughout December, there will be many more surprises including special features for High School Girls Flag Football as the Browns continuously work to ensure flag football becomes a recognized, sanctioned varsity sport within the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA).
