Chris Johnson and POWERADE “Running Back to Schools” Program
With all the turmoil that is currently going with the Tennessee Titans here is a positive story about a player who we know will be on the team next year.
Despite the 2010 regular season coming to a close, Tennessee star running back Chris Johnson’s yardage total is just getting going. That’s because each of CJ’s 1,364 rushing yards will correspond to a donation made by POWERADE to Metropolitan Nashville Public High Schools.
This past fall, Johnson teamed with POWERADE for the “Running Back to Schools” program, whereby POWERADE pledged $10 to Davidson County schools athletic programs for every rushing yard registered. That means $13,640 will go towards equipment, uniforms and facility upgrades across the 17 zoned and magnet high schools with athletic programs in the district.
“I had a little extra incentive this year to rack up the yards,” said Johnson. “I’m happy that POWERADE and I could help improve some playing conditions for these kids, and I hope to make a visit to some Nashville city schools to see how this donation is put to use.”
Johnson finished the season ranked fourth in pro football for his number of rushing yards.
I believe we all can agree that Chris Johnson did NOT utter the words quoted above. Im sure it was translated into English for this story.
Don't knock Chris his dreads look better than mine.
