This year's event was held inside Cleveland Browns Stadium, with kids arriving to meet with Garrett and receive a backpack full of back-to-school essentials.
CLEVELAND — After spending the week in Philadelphia for a joint practice and preseason matchup with the Eagles, Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett made Friday all about giving back as local children prepare to head back to school for a new school year. In his second annual Back-To-School event, Garrett supported 200 children with supplies and resources.
"We got shirts, hats and some other supplies, and we got a gift card," Dylan said."It’s amazing because most families don’t have money for school supplies, so I’m grateful for that." Garrett partnered with a number of community programs like The United Way and Browns Give Back to make Friday's event happen. As he met with kids, he was joined by several teammates, including defensive tackle Tommy Togiai and rookie defensive end Isaiah McGuire.
The kids also got excited to meet with Cleveland rapper Doe Boy, who came to support Garrett and the event.
