Seattle Seahawks wide receiver/returner, Tyler Lockett, and his Light It Up Foundation will host the third (3rd) annual Thanksgiving Event on Friday, November 22, 2019 at the Gilcrease Clubhouse at 1919 W. Seminole Street, Tulsa.
Tyler, a 5-year veteran in the National Football League, is having one of the best seasons in his young career. The NFL all-purpose player is eleventh (11th) in the NFL in receiving with 62 receptions, 793 yards, and 6 touchdowns. He is also sixth (6th) in the NFL in all-purpose yards with 1,098 yards. In a recent game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tyler had a spectacular game. He was targeted eighteen (18) times, a career high, and successfully caught 13 passes for 152 yards and two (2) touchdowns.
This is the third year the Light It Up Foundation has partnered with local churches to provide the foundation with families that may need a little help during the Thanksgiving Holiday.
In 2020, Tyler will launch his nation wide and powerful Job Shadow Program, a movement to empower diverse youth to grow into successful careers through his I KNOW I CAN campaign. The program will involve high school students from the Tulsa schools.
On October 15, 2019, Tyler’s new book, REFLECTION, went on sale and became the #1 seller for religious and inspirational books. The book is available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
This year the foundation will provide a complete Thanksgiving Basket, an autographed picture of Tyler, a $25.00 Visa Card, and an autographed copy of his new book, REFLECTION, to further assist the families during Thanksgiving.
Tyler sends his best to all the families and hope they have a blessed Thanksgiving. I would like to thank all the people involved for their hard work and dedication in making this event a success. God Bless You All. “GO HAWKS”
