Giants’ Andrew Thomas Foundation raises more than $53,000 for youth and families in underserved communities

On Monday night in Wallington, NJ, the annual event featured bowling, food and beverages, a silent auction, and opportunities for fans and supporters to connect with Giants players while supporting a meaningful cause. The foundation focuses on youth football camps, educational support and addressing food insecurities.

“We are here at Lucky Strike Bowling Alley, having a fundraiser for my foundation. I got a lot of sponsors that we have relationships with that donated to a great cause. I have my teammates, family and friends supporting,” Thomas said.

Attendees included fan favorites Jaxson Dart, Jameis Winston, Darius Slayton, Tyrone Tracy Jr., Brian Burns and Evan Neal, among others. Funds raised during the event will directly support the Andrew Thomas Foundation’s efforts to expand access to educational enrichment, athletic programming and community initiatives. 

“Seeing my teammates, family, partners and supporters show up the way they did means everything to me,” Thomas added. “This foundation is about creating opportunities for young people and families, and the support we receive tonight will help us make a meaningful impact in the communities we serve.”

“My teammates are my brothers. We got to war together, so it’s so exciting when they come out to support me.”

Thomas, a 2022 AP All-Pro, is looking forward to his seventh season anchoring New York’s offensive line alongside rookie Francis Mauigoa.

“I’m looking forward to the season. It’s going to be fun to hop out there for the first time, crossing those white lines. I’m also looking forward to those events we host and giving back anyway we can,” Thomas concluded.

Supporters can continue contributing through the event’s online auction, which remains open through June 18 at www.charitybuzz.com/andrewthomas.
