If you are a fan of the NFL, then you are definitely familiar with perennial All-Pro Tight End Vernon Davis’ exploits on the field. What you may not know is that he is just as much of a superstar off of the gridiron. For several years, Davis has given back to his native Washington D.C. and in 2010 he and his brother, Miami Dolphins DB Vontae Davis started the Davis Family Foundation.

Vernon’s latest philanthropic project takes the fashion route. He has teamed up with streetwear brand Akomplice and Young Audiences Arts for Learning and Starkey Hearing Foundation to impact the youth of America and Africa. 50% of the proceeds from the purchase of the white t-shirt featuring a stylized photographic image of Vernon Davis shot by award-winning photographer Tim Mantoani will go to Young Audiences Arts for Learning. Purchase of every black t-shirt will provide a child in Africa with a t-shirt, to be distributed by the Starkey Hearing Foundation.

Both t-shrits retail for $30 and are currently available online at Akomplice’s web store and Vernondavis.tv as well as select retail outlets.
