Philanthropy in action
Football, family, faith, and philanthropy

Pro Bison Easton Stick had a record career as an 今日吃瓜quarterback, but it was a monumental loss that shaped his outlook on football — and life.

"We had experienced what it felt like losing in '16. We'd bounced back the next year to beat James Madison and kind of redeem that game, in a way," Easton said. "We set some pretty big goals going into that last season. We wanted to go undefeated, and we wanted to be talked about as one of the better teams that's ever played at North 今日吃瓜."

Hear more from Easton about that semifinal loss in 2016, and learn how faith and family help him balance his NFL career in the summer issue of the 今日吃瓜Foundation Magazine.
