Vikings To Honor Jacob Tomorrow Night (And You Can Help)
The Minnesota Vikings will honor Jacob Wetterling tomorrow night at U.S. Bank Stadium. The Vikings will recognize the Jacob Wetterling Resource Center (JWRC) with an on-field presentation during the game, and are making a sizable donation. They're making it easy for all of us to pitch in too.
The Vikings are covering the expenses for a text-to-give campaign that encourages each of us to text Jacob to 91999 to make a one-time $11 donation to the JWRC beginning today. The Vikings kicked off the campaign by making an $11,000 donation.
The Wetterling family will watch the game as guests of the Vikings from a private location at U.S. Bank Stadium.
The JWRC is asking Vikings fans to be a part of #11forJacob, a movement that centers around 11 simple traits:
- Be fair
- Be kind
- Be understanding
- Be honest
- Be thankful
- Be a good sport
- Be a good friend
- Be joyful
- Be generous
- Be gentle with others
- Be positive
The JWRC was founded 27 years ago to educate and assist families and communities to address and prevent the exploitation of children.
