Former NFL Star Tiki Barber Completes Another Big Play for Our Troops

Former New York Giants superstar and Current NBC commentator Tiki Barber
personally autographed footballs and copies of his autobiography Tiki: My Life and
the Game Beyond.
At an event in Bridgewater, NJ, Barber told members of The G.I. GO Fund that he
appreciated the work the organization has accomplished and wished them further
success in this “most important mission”.
“People often look at football players and see us as heroes. I personally have never felt comfortable with that. I
always felt that the only heroes in this country are the ones who fight and die for it,” said Barber.
Barber is well-known for his community work as much as his football or television success. Along with his
close work with countless charities and causes, he is on the board of the Fresh Air Fund, an organization
helping inner city youth which held a special “Salute to American Heroes” event this past June.
“Barber is no stranger to helping our troops, and these donations are just another example of his support of our
brave men and women,” said G.I. GO Vice President Alexander Manis.
The autographed items will be given away to soldiers at future events. The G.I. GO Fund thanks Barber for
his support.
