According to the letter of recognition, the President Leadership Council – Celebrity Ambassadors will be composed of local, national and global professionals who demonstrate experience and influence in the community.

From surviving the streets of LA, after being a victim of gun violence, DJ Thump was able to transform his life and create a successful career, which has a positive impact on the youth through the art of music and broadcast.

The role and responsibility of this position entail implementing strategies to ramp up outreach and fundraising while leveraging relationships to advance each ambassador’s brand in the community that the NFL Alumni Association serves.

The award motivates and ignites a spark within DJ Thump, who said he hopes this can give hope to other kids, who grew up in similar situations like him.

“There are a lot of kids that look up to me,” added DJ Thump. “This honor show them that dreams are attainable. They’re not just a dream, these are real goals and real things that can happen.”
