The CJ Dickey Foundation was born out of that heartbreak and out of our determination that other kids would have doors opened, not closed, because of a lack of money. The 50 for #50 Athletic Scholarship does two things at once: Honors CJ’s legacy  his work ethic, his big heart, and his belief that dreams are worth chasing. Pays it forward by helping student-athletes who have earned their shot to play at the next level but are staring down the reality of college costs.

September is Sickle Cell Awareness Month — a time to raise our voices, share knowledge, and build awareness

To every young lineman who showed up—thank you. You honored CJ not just with your presence, but with your hard work, heart, and resilience.

SCT is not a disease. It doesn’t mean you’re sick.But for athletes proper hydration, rest, and medical oversight are key.
