MORGAN FOX, DEFENSIVE LINEMAN

Chargers' defensive lineman Morgan Fox has dedicated his philanthropic efforts to serving veteran and active-duty military communities. Morgan grew up in the military community and experienced the sacrifice of service members and their families first-hand. During the offseason, the team traveled to U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, where Morgan addressed the military members and their families in attendance prior to practice. This November, Morgan will host a chalk talk with 100 warriors from the nonprofit Wounded Warrior Project, speaking on the challenges of overcoming adversity. Morgan participated in the Chargers Community Corner program to provide 100 club level game tickets to military and Veteran focused nonprofits. He celebrated the grand re-opening of the U.S. Vets Long Beach dining hall renovation and served meals to over 300 veterans. For the past two seasons, he has hosted warriors from the Wounded Warrior Project at the Chargers practice facility, supported our nation's fallen heroes through the nonprofit Tragedy Assistant Program for Survivors, and talked about the parallels between elite athletes and veterans with the Pat Tillman Foundation. During Salute to Service month over the past two years, Morgan has created his own merchandise with all proceeds going to the Headstrong Project and the Wounded Warrior Project. On the field, Morgan has raised awareness and funds through My Cause My Cleats for nonprofit organizations including Wounded Warrior Project, the Headstrong Project, Merging Vets and Players, One Tribe Foundation and War Heroes on Water. These organizations support and assist Veterans in overcoming mental and emotional struggles that they face after their service has ended. Morgan ongoing support of our nation's military and veterans has never wavered and will continue far beyond his playing career.
