Car Donation for Children Charity

Have you ever thought of donate car for the sake of the children? Why not? Even famous athletes do charity works all the time. Take Ray Lewis for example. This American football linebacker from Baltimore Ravens of NFL have a foundation for at-risk youth that called Ray Lewis Foundation.

Become a father of four children himself, Ray Lewis has a great attention for kid's wealth. Besides in his own foundation, he also actives in other charity events. Last March he and hundreds of supporters including current and retired NFL players gathered at the St. Regis Monarch Beach Hotel to raise money for Orangewood Children’s Home which shelters children who have fallen victim to abuse, neglect and abandonment.

Ray Lewis, the charitable linebacker

You might thinking, for a famous and rich athletes, it's easy to do a car donation or give some of their money just to increase their fame. But that's not completely true. Much of these athletes came from the street or a broken family, so they understand well of their root. They simply donated because they don't want any child experiences the violence they had when they were young.

So, it's about taking an action for the greater goods. If the two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year, Ray Lewis, has set an example for us, now it's up to us to follow his footstep.

Now, besides helping those who needs it, car donation also give a benefit for you. Rather than sell your used car, this donation going to deduct the market value of the donated car from your income tax. You can look more information about tax deduction or legal aspects from IRS website or http://house.gov/ website. Donating a car also much easier than selling it, you won't need to fix your car, because the foundation will accept your car in any conditions.

NFL Players Pregame Ritual

Some athletes need to encourage themselves before playing in the match. This so-called pregame rituals sometime looks very hilarious to us, but to the player can greatly affects their performance. Lots of them competed under performance when they were unable to did one of their rituals. Check these NFL players pregame ritual:

John Henderson

The Jacksonville Jaguar's defensive tackle, John Henderson, has a trainer slap him as hard as they can. Just watch the video above and see Henderson get worked up into a raving lunatic. You can imagine what he's gonna do to his opponents after being slapped like that.

Brian Dawkins

The Denver Broncos Brian Dawkins plays like a mindless psycho, and when you see the way he warms himself up, you can see why. He will stalk the end zone before a game, pacing back and forth, not talking to anybody, except for the ball. Yeah right, Dawkins has an intense one-on-one session with a football before the game, to get himself and the ball ready to go.


Brian Urlacher

Brian Urlacher, Chicago Bears linebacker, eats exactly two chocolate chip cookies prior to every game. Not one, not three, two.


While other players do their ritual during the game, or after every touchdown. Take example with Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger points to the sky after every touchdown, in honor of his mother. And Ray Lewis, Baltimore Ravens linebacker, of course does his traditional dance prior to games.

Examining the NFL Star Peyton Manning

Peyton Manning is one of the most well known football players currently playing the game of football. Even people who do not watch the sport know who he is, for many reasons. First, his talent on the field has been recognized worldwide, and although someone might not be a casual watcher of football, they can still respect the ability that Manning posses. In addition, Peyton Manning has come to be the most marketable player in the NFL. By this, I mean that out of all players, Peyton appears in the most advertisements and commands the most money for each ad he appears in.

It is not only his skill that has made this great quarterback so well known. He also has a great personality, and a strong modesty. Tom Brady of the Patriots seems to revel in his skill, while Peyton acknowledges that he is good, but he can always push to do better. In addition, the entire Manning family is famous, so by just him being a part of it, he has absorbed a lot of recognition. However, essentially all of the respect given to him he has earned himself, and he has not taken any automatic rewards. He has worked hard to earn everything he has.


Peyton showed promise for football starting at a young age. By the time he had gotten to college, he was one of the most promising football players in the United States. Because of this, he was drafted first by the Colts in the 1998 draft pick, and in his rookie year, he was already one of the best players in the League.


In his life, Peyton Manning has appeared in dozens of commercials for a long line of organizations. This ranges from the American Red Cross to Sprint. In the future, it is expected that Peyton will continue to capitalize on his popularity, and star in even more advertisements.
