Once a Club member himself, Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is now aiming for a new kind of touchdown: raising $100,000 for Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas (BGCD) before Thanksgiving.
The challenge kicks off on Sept. 15, encouraging fans to pledge donations that directly support after-school and mentoring programs for thousands of North Texas kids. Donors will also have the chance to win signed jerseys from Lamb, making every pledge an opportunity to support kids and celebrate their favorite Cowboy.
For Lamb, this partnership is personal. Before he was lighting up the NFL, he was a Club kid himself. “The Boys & Girls Club gave me a safe place to grow and dream big,” said Lamb. “Now it’s my turn to give back and make sure today’s kids have the same opportunities I did.”
Lamb’s story reflects the impact Boys & Girls Clubs have nationwide: 1 in 19 Americans grows up in a Club, finding safety, mentorship and opportunity within its walls.
“For 60 years, our Clubs have kept kids safe, active and learning,” said Debra Taylor, Interim President & CEO of BGCD. “With 10+ Club locations across Dallas County, we provide enriching afterschool experiences that are both affordable and accessible to thousands of families. Funds raised in partnership with CeeDee Lamb will directly support these programs, giving kids the safe space, guidance and opportunities they deserve.”
