I admire the way Atlanta resident C J Matthews is doing his part to help the needy children by hosting a flag football game that is called the "Giving Bowl" that is played every December. The "Giving Bowl" was not played this year due to the Coronavirus pandemic. However thanks to the donations from friends and strangers, C J was able to give away 150 blankets via a drive through event. C J has his goal to give away 1,000 blankets to needy via getting donations via GoFundMe.com, his mother Kristen Wright-Matthews is doing a wonderful job raising her child.
