Trinity High School football player gives back with non-profit foundation

[All Tell]

That's the mission of a Trinity High School football player, who had a stellar season on the field.

 

It was a standout season for #7 Stephen Herron: a state championship for Trinity High School, lead tackler and interest from the some of the country's top programs...and he's only a sophomore.

 

"A lot of big things happened this year, a lot of good things, so I figured I'd add another good thing to the list," Herron said.

 

He decided to end the year on a high note with a final act of kindness. Herron launched "SJ's Kids," a non-profit foundation devoted to helping at-risk youth in Kentuckiana.

 

"We had to buy cleats, pay some bills for some families, and after I saw what they went though, I just decided I wanted to help kids all across the community -- just really help them and help their Christmas out, since they don't get a lot of stuff," Herron said.

 

The 16-year-old decided to start small with a youth shelter drive.

Isn't it amazing that starting something small can reap such big reward. Congratulations to this young man and his mother.

VERY COOL. It's real easy to root for kids like this.

 

Hats off to this young man's mom for instilling such principles in her son.
