EAGLES’ CHRIS LONG IS DONATING HIS SALARY FOR EDUCATIONAL EQUALITY
Eagles defensive end Chris Long is donating his entire 2017 base salary, worth $1 million, to benefit educational charities.
Long, through the Chris Long Foundation, announced that he will donate his next 10 game checks to organizations that support educational equality in the three cities that he has spent his 10-year career playing in – Philadelphia this season, Boston (New England Patriots) and St. Louis (the former St. Louis Rams).
The campaign, called “Pledge 10 for Tomorrow,” also encourages fans and businesses to donate to match Long’s contribution.
