PHOENIX, AZ - In midst of the Arizona Cardinals November playoff push, cornerback Ralph Brown took time out to give back to his local community. The nine year veteran teamed up once again with international Hunger Relief Organization, Feed the Children, to provide 400 needy Phoenix area families with boxes of food and personal care items. “This is one of the best parts of being a professional athlete, you have an opportunity to work with charities like Feed The Children and set up events to help those less fortunate, especially during the holiday season” said Brown.
