Ziggy Ansah, Lions donate 94K water bottles to Flint

Published: Jan 22, 2016 at 06:51 AM

The Lions' season is over, but their relationship with the Michigan community doesn't quit.

Known for his giving back, Lions defensive end Ziggy Ansah led donations of 94,000 bottles of water to the people of Flint, Michigan, on Friday in response to the ongoing toxic-water crisis. Ansah was joined by his defensive linemates and Titans defensive lineman Angelo Blackson as they unloaded cases of water an hour north of Detroit.

Ansah settled on 94,000 bottles because he sports No. 94 for the Lions.

Ziggy said he knows what it's like not having access to clean water coming from Africa & that's why this cause is so important to him.
