PAY IT FORWARD | Finding The Underdog Media welcomed its first inaugural short film screening and educational giveback program in Brooklyn, NY. The event premiered the debut episode of what was sure to be a long-running and, dare we predict, Emmy-award winning docuseries featuring the historic and inspiring Cinderella story of Qwan’tez Stiggers, now of the NFL’s New York Jets football team.
This is an amazing, heartwarming story of family love and support and, incidentally, football, too.
IT TAKES A COMMUNITY TO RAISE A CHAMPION
VIP guests joined us for the big screen premiere and a stellar set of discussions with notable panelists from various aspects of sports and media, including one with Qwan’tez Stiggers himself, dedicated to the themes of giving back to community and humanizing athletics and athletes through their stories of challenge and triumph.
In addition, we were honored to have a keynote presentation by Mr. Donovan Mitchell, Sr., the Sr. Director of Player Relations and Diversity Equity and Inclusion for the New York Mets. He’s also the father of his namesake, a professional basketball player for the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers.
