Clinton
Hart starts up a new non-profit for underprivileged youth
It's always
appreciated when celebrities and pro athletes give something
back to their communities. Clinton Hart of the San Diego Chargers
is doing just that. Although he has always been an active
contributor to his community, later this year he will be unleashing
the Clinton Hart Foundation, a non-profit organization catering
to at-risk youth.
Hart's
road to the NFL was not your typical one. Although he played
football in high school, he never had the chance to play college
football, instead choosing to play baseball in order to be
closer to his family. His talent began to show playing arena
football after college, giving him the chance to try out for
the Philadelphia Eagles in 2003. Recently he signed with John
Bermudez of Team One Sports and Entertainment, helping him
land a three-year deal with the San Diego Chargers.
Despite
all of Hart's success he has never forgotten his roots. Hart
enjoys working with kids, putting on yearly football camps
and volunteering at a local sports complex near his hometown
in Florida. The Clinton Hart Foundation will in essence be
an extension of what he has been doing in the past, helping
kids and underprivileged youth stay on their feet with sports,
awareness programs and counseling.
What was
really needed for the foundation to take off was a logo design. For
this, LogoBee.com was contracted for the development and design.
Interestingly, some of the initial design concepts came from
Clint Hart himself. The finalized logo design incorporates
Clint's stylish signature that many die hard fans have already
seen scribbled onto footballs, hats and t-shirts. "I
think the logo is great because it's effective in creating
a bond between me and my fans" said Hart. "It has
an open feel to it which is essential in communicating my
foundation's mission and services to those in need."
