Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz met with the Chester Panthers Youth Empowerment and Athletic Association last week, and presented a donation of $30,000 in sports gear, writes EJ Smith for The Philadelphia Inquirer.

The donation was made in partnership with several local Dunkin’ Donuts shops.

The association has been receiving donations from Dunkin’ Philly as a part of its “Touchdowns for Kids” program since 2013. The Chester youth sports group is run by volunteers.

Ertz pledged to donate $250 for every touchdown the Eagles score in a season, with all the proceeds going to Good Sports, an organization that raises money for youth sports equipment nationally. Dunkin’ Philly adds another $250 per score.

“It was really fun to be out there,” Ertz said. “All those kids have a lot of energy, obviously, running around all day. I just told them that they’re not doing this by themselves, there’s a lot of people that care about them. Not only with my wife and me, but the people at Dunkin’ and the people at Good Sports.”

Ertz said it’s his fifth year donating to a local youth sports organization.
