Kids at
Benjamin Franklin Elementary School in Milwaukee now have a new and fun place
to read and learn thanks to Green Bay Packers safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix.
Clinton-Dix celebrated the opening of Ha Ha’s HERO Headquarters, a community
outreach program of Ha Ha’s HERO Foundation, Tuesday morning with kids from
Benjamin Franklin Elementary School.
Sponsored by
Quarles & Brady, Ha Ha’s HERO Headquarters transformed a space at Benjamin
Franklin Elementary School into a reading oasis. Designed with a Green Bay Packers
theme and images of Ha Ha playing football placed on the walls, Ha Ha’s HERO
Headquarters includes 600 age appropriate books and a comfortable space to read
filled with fun beanbags, carpets and chairs all in the hope to inspire kids to
grow in their learning, education and reading. Quarles & Brady also gifted
every student with a nylon drawstring backpack stuffed with books.
Benjamin
Franklin Elementary is a pre-kindergarten to 8th grade school with
approximately 350 students. Many students at Franklin struggle with reading.
Furthermore, many of the families at the school don’t have the resources to
provide their children with their own books at home. Rooted in the mission of
his foundation to be a hero to kids through education and also a personal
mission, Ha Ha is a living witness to the importance of education as he is
currently finishing his Criminal Justice degree at the University of Alabama,
which is why implementing community outreach programs with an education theme
is important for him.
“It was a great day as my HERO
Foundation launched its first Ha Ha’s HERO Headquarters. The importance of
education is something that I am passionate about so I hope students at
Benjamin Franklin Elementary can utilize the HERO Headquarters so they can grow
in their reading, learning and education,” says Green Bay Packers safety, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix.
Ha Ha’s HERO
Headquarters at the school will bring to life an area with high interest books,
where children can experience the joy of reading in a space designed for them.
Knowing that the students will have a safe and comfortable place where they can
find books of their interest will remove some of that burden from the families.
The launch of
Ha Ha’s HERO Headquarters marks the first community outreach program of Ha Ha’s
HERO Foundation. Ha Ha celebrated the official launch of his foundation in
October 2017 as he hosted Ha Ha’s HERO Celebrity Night at Blue Harbor Resort
& Conference Center and raised over $130,000 for his foundation.
