More than $92,000 has been raised for the thousands of residents living under the poverty line in Athens, Ohio, after LSU quarterback Joe Burrow drew attention to the struggles in his hometown as he accepted the coveted Heisman trophy
As he accepted the coveted Heisman trophy, LSU quarterback Joe Burrow addressed the children in his hometown of Athens, Ohio, where thousands of residents live in poverty.
Burrow struggled to speak, holding back tears as he spoke about the children in his community who go hungry. "Coming from southeast Ohio, it's a very impoverished area and the poverty rate is almost two times the national average," he said in his acceptance speech Saturday."There's so many people there that don't have a lot. And I'm up here for all those kids in Athens and Athens County that go home to not a lot of food on the table, hungry after school.
