Here’s a nice video of Dallas Cowboy All-Pro tight-end Jason Witten taking 10 children affected by domestic violence back-to-school shopping. His SCORE Foundation and The Family Place partnered with Academy Sports.

When Witten was a child, he regularly witnessed his father inflict physical and verbal abuse upon his family.

Dallas Cowboy starts non-profit to help families affected by domestic violence

Dallas Cowboy Jason Witten

This news might be a bit old, but I suspect that many have not heard that Dallas Cowboys’ All-Pro tight end Jason Witten launched a non-profit organization last December to help families affected by family violence.

Called the Jason Witten SCORE Foundation – SCORE stands for Support, Community, Overcome, Rebuild, Educate – the first event benefited 30 families from The Family Place, the largest women’s shelter in Dallas.

Although Witten has been named Cowboys “Man of the Year”for his off-the-field work and was heavily involved in all of the team’s charitable functions, apparently his real passion is aiding family violence victims – especially abused children.

As a child, Witten regularly witnessed his father inflict verbal and physical violence upon his family.

Glad to see that a Cowboys Man of the Year is helping our cause!
