Martellus Bennett Delivers Championship Rings To Morgan Park Basketball Team
(CBS) About two months after he stepped up to help fund championship rings for the Morgan Park boys' basketball team's state title-winning team, ex-Bear and current Packers tight end Martellus Bennett has helped delivered the hardware to the youngsters.
Bennett also helped design the ring in conjunction with Jostens. Late Tuesday, he posted a photo commemorating the delivery of the rings to Morgan Park players to his Instagram account.
The Mustangs won won the 3A state title in March against Fenwick, but neither the school nor CPS had the financial resources for the players, coaches and staff to get championship rings. Athletic director Michael Berger made a plea on Twitter asking for help in late March, after which Bennett, comedian Hannibal Buress and Fenwick — again, the losing team — were among those who stepped up with generous donations to help the Mustangs get championship rings.
Morgan Park thanked Bennett for his support and efforts.
Morgan Park High School would like to thank @MartysaurusRex for his generosity and for all those who made last night so special #empehi pic.twitter.com/H6rXlfQHCp
