In an inspiring and heartfelt move, Cleveland Browns defensive powerhouse Myles Garrett has announced that he is donating his entire $25 million bonus and endorsement earnings to charities focused on homelessness and community support.
The generous donation, which includes funds from a recent contract bonus and multiple endorsement deals, is earmarked for organizations dedicated to providing shelter, food, and rehabilitation services to homeless individuals, as well as initiatives aimed at empowering underserved communities across the country.
Speaking about his decision, Garrett said,
“I’ve been incredibly fortunate in my career, and I believe it’s my responsibility to give back to those who need it most. Homelessness is a crisis that touches so many lives, and I want to help make a real difference.”
Garrett’s philanthropic gesture has immediately drawn praise from teammates, fans, and local leaders alike. The Browns organization released a statement celebrating his generosity:
“Myles Garrett exemplifies leadership both on and off the field. His commitment to helping vulnerable populations reflects the best of what sports can inspire.”
