The Atlanta Falcons specialists celebrated the spirit of giving this holiday season by hosting a heartfelt Thanksgiving dinner at My Sister’s House, a shelter for women and children experiencing homelessness, on Monday, Nov. 25. Falcons players Bradley Pinion, Younghoe Koo, Avery Williams, and Liam McCullough led the evening’s efforts, joined by the Atlanta Falcons Cheerleaders and team mascot Freddie Falcon, creating a joyful and uplifting atmosphere for the attendees.
A Night of Gratitude, Giving, and Community
