NFL Alumni Honors DJ Thump As Celebrity Ambassador
The NFL Alumni of Las Vegas honored our very own DJ Thump with the prestigious Celebrity Ambassador title for the organization’s President Leadership Council.
This honor was a surprise for Thump, who said he had no idea that this was going to happen.
“All of the seeds that I have planted, it just feels good that I’m reaping my harvest. All of the hard work that I’ve put into the community and will continue to do will pay off.”
According to the letter of recognition, the President Leadership Council – Celebrity Ambassadors will be composed of local, national and global professionals who demonstrate experience and influence in the community.
From surviving the streets of LA, after being a victim of gun violence, DJ Thump was able to transform his life and create a successful career, which has a positive impact on the youth through the art of music and broadcast.
The role and responsibility of this position entail implementing strategies to ramp up outreach and fundraising while leveraging relationships to advance each ambassador’s brand in the community that the NFL Alumni association serves.
This award motivates and ignites a spark within DJ Thump, who said he hopes this can give hope to other kids, who grew up in similar situations like him.
“There are a lot of kids that look up to me. This honor show them that dreams are attainable. They’re not just a dream, these are real goals and real things that can happen.”
The NFL Alumni has a traditional mission and purpose of ‘”Caring for the Kids, Caring for Our Community and Caring for Our Own,’ across the country. Player alumni give back to local communities by raising funds for youth-related charities through their 35 regional chapters.”
“Everyone knows I’m a Raiders fan, but I’m a bigger fan of the sport. Football has taught me discipline, leadership, and team work,” DJ Thump said. “But, more importantly, it has taught me how to win with passion and how to learn from my losses.”
This tradition of charity and caring has been around for more than 50 years with the organization raising more than $1.5 million for worthwhile causes.
