Sharks Participate in Jason Taylor Foundation’s Cool Gear for the School Year
12th annual Cool Gear for the School Year
The Nova Southeastern University athletic department assisted the Jason Taylor Foundation in their 12th annual Cool Gear for the School Year event on Sept. 5, sending 60 young students on a shopping spree at Old Navy.
Each year, the Jason Taylor Foundation hosts 60 underserved children from Miami-Dade and Broward Counties at Old Navy for a “back to school” shopping experience.
During the event each child was allotted $300 to spend on back to school gear. In addition to the monetary allowance, the children received assistance from Jason, along with current and former Miami Dolphins players, cheerleaders, and local celebrities. The purpose of the program is to help build self-esteem and eliminate unnecessary distractions to allow each child to focus on his or her studies, and not attire, during the school year.
