3-28-17 is the first annual, unofficial (we can’t stress that enough), “Falcons Day” across the Carolinas, commemorating the never distracting 25 point lead blown by the Atlanta Falcons against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 51. Typically here at CSR, this is not a thing we would formally recognize... except today. In an interesting twist, this event that usually results in nothing more than “Crying Jordan” memes and the re-hashing of the same three jokes from the few days following the Super Bowl, has turned altruistic.

Posts from several Panthers fans on Twitter showing their $25 donations to various player charities are popping up all over. The beneficiaries so far seem to be predominantly Greg Olsen’s Receptions for Research and The Thomas Davis Defending Dreams Foundation. Though other team-based charities like Cam Newton’s Foundation and Charles Johnson’s Foundation are also receiving some love.

The hashtags #HowWillYou25 are popping up alongside the traditional #KeepPounding tags on Twitter, with people showing their charitable support at the Falcon’s expense. I was happy to get in on the action myself:

Here are a couple other examples of people doing it (donating):

In this case, I’m sure even Atlanta area fans will agree, that they don’t mind a little ribbing for the cause. If you would like to make a $25 (or larger) donation to any of the charities, please click on their links above and give of your charitable dollars. Be sure to shout out in the comments if you took the #HowWillYou25 challenge. If you make a twitter post about it, I’ll be glad to put you in the article.
