Legendary Detroit Lions Quarterback Barry Sanders Giving Back

Former Oklahoma State quarterback Barry Sanders will celebrate the success of his signature Nike Air Trainer shoe by donating all of the proceeds to two of his favorite charities, he announced on Monday.

“I still cannot believe Nike paid tribute to my college career with an Air Trainer shoe in OK State colors,” Sanders said, via his blog. “I’ve decided to donate all the proceeds I receive to two charities that mean a lot to me.”

Half of the earnings will be sent to the Boys and Girls Club of South Central Kansas, located in Sanders’ hometown of Wichita, Kan. The group recently hosted the 10th Annual Barry Sanders and Friends Celebrity Golf Classic, an annual tournament devoted to raise funds and increase awareness of the organization.
