Eagles in the community: Jalen Hurts, Jalyx Hunt make huge impacts
These Eagles players are committed to making a difference on and off the field.
Philadelphia Eagles stars Jalen Hurts and Jalyx Hunt are making significant contributions to their hometown communities. Hurts recently donated $600,000 to Northeast High School to install a new HVAC system, addressing the prevalent issue of inadequate cooling in the often sweltering Philadelphia area. This donation comes as part of an ongoing initiative by Hurts' foundation to provide air conditioning to 52 schools that had to close early due to heat-related discomfort.
"Education is so important," Hurts told students, emphasizing that a comfortable learning environment is crucial for success.
On the same day, Hunt and his foundation announced the creation of three scholarships and an endowment for Little Flower Catholic High School for Girls. Named after significant women in Hunt's life, these scholarships aim to alleviate the financial burden of tuition for deserving students. Two scholarships cover two years of education, while two others provide four years of financial support.
The endowment will ensure the scholarships' longevity. Hunt expressed his dedication to supporting the school, noting that many students require financial assistance for tuition. His commitment to the community extends beyond this year, as he previously helped Little Flower's basketball team two years ago.
