Junior Seau understands that by positive role modeling and encouragement of education, the most vulnerable youth will aspire to better his or her situation through higher education.

The Junior Seau Foundation continues the tradition of taking underprivileged children from Boys and Girls clubs shopping for gifts for their loved ones.  Children shopped with players from the San Diego Chargers, the Miami Dolphins, NFL Alums, San Diego Padres, San Diego Riptide, San Diego Sockers, local collegiate athletes, Miami Dolphin cheerleaders and local TV and radio personalities.

• December 2006, San Diego, California: 200 Children from San Diego County Boys and Girls Clubs shopped for Christmas presents at Mervyn’s.  
  

Seau says, “Shop with a Jock™ is one of the most rewarding and important events the Foundation produces because it teaches the children the importance of giving.   Our hope is that these kids will learn the joy, value, and rewards of giving to others.”

On Thanksgiving Day, dinner is prepared and served at SEAU'S the Restaurant for 600 residents of homeless shelters and victims of domestic violence. This day exemplifies Junior's belief in giving back to our community. It is a true celebration of thankfulness.
