The Other Side of Emmanuel Sanders by A Precious Child

Hundreds of children, ranging from elementary to middle school ages, gathered around Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders on the Thomas Jefferson High School football field. “You can be anything you want to be,” Sanders told them. “Do you believe that?”

They excitedly shouted back in unison, “Yeah!”

As part of his two-day summer football camp, Sanders teams up with A Precious Child to provide an opportunity for kids to learn new football and leadership skills, have fun and feel inspired. He also uses it as a way to give back to the community.

“With Emmanuel as one of our Celebrity Ambassadors, we’ve been able to partner with him for the past four years to send hundreds of children in need to his camp through our giveSPORTS program,” said Brittany Polinski, Vice President of Programs and Evaluation at A Precious Child. Through their partnership, 200 kids, who otherwise couldn’t afford the fee, were able to participate in Sanders’ camp for free this year.

10-year-old Carl, a giveSPORTS recipient, said by the end of camp he felt more confident. “I high-fived him and now I have his superpowers,” he said. “I feel awesome!”

Sanders and his family engages in A Precious Child’s mission in multiple ways, by donating sports equipment through his foundation and using his platform to inspire community members to get involved with A Precious Child’s work. Gabby Sanders, Emmanuel’s wife, is an integral part of A Precious Child’s growth.

She is an Executive Board Member of A Precious Child’s Women’s Guild, a group of influential women dedicated to raising awareness of and resources for the organization, allowing A Precious Child to impact even more children in the Denver community.

“I love A Precious Child because what they’re doing for the Denver community is just amazing,” said Emmanuel Sanders. “Going into their facility and seeing people putting clothes into their shopping carts and everything is free. The concept, the idea, the positive energy behind it… we both share the same goal in trying to help the Denver community be better.”
