Fox Sports Radio To Support “Gridiron Greats Relief Fund”

Starting today (9/8), Fox Sports Radio’s Craig Shemon and James Washington will dedicate “Jersey Fridays” to benefit the “Gridiron Greats Relief Fund.” Created by former NFL great Jerry Kramer, the fund provides direct financial assistance to retired players who are disadvantaged or indigent due to inadequate pension and disability compensation.

Each week, Shemon and Washington will feature a signed jersey donated by an NFL great or current NFL player to be auctioned on www.JerryKramer.com. The winner will be announced on “Jersey Friday,” and will have a chance to interact with the owner of the jersey on Out of Bounds on Fox with Shemon & Washington.

“This partnership provides two great opportunities,” said Andrew Ashwood, Fox Sports Radio VP/GM-executive producer. “We can help those former NFL players who helped build the league we know today, and give our listeners access to something special they'll remember forever.”

Kramer commented, “With the support of Fox Sports Radio and the NFL legends who are participating in this project, we will be able to provide some necessary assistance to many retired players who are in need. This is a very important and unique opportunity for all of us to come together and raise some funds to help our friends in need.”
