The McCourty Twins!

 
 

Though the playing fields, courts, and rinks may be still, sports still finds a way to bring us joy. In this case, jump-up-and-down-joy! And, double happiness from two outstanding role models.

We're so happy to learn that our 2020 Service Heroes Devin McCourty & Jason McCourty re-signed with the Patriots for next season!

Of course, they're know as elite athletes and Super Bowl Champions...but, more importantly, Jason and Devin are such great men and wonderful role models -- defined by humility, compassion, and decency. They are proud sons, loyal brothers (twins!), loving husbands, devoted fathers...and social justice agents of change. And, we're very proud to add...2020 Service Heroes!

As we celebrate their return to the Pats, we offer our Service Hero tribute from this year's Launch:

"It’s rare for twins to be elite players in the NFL and history-making when they win a Super Bowl as teammates. But, Jason and Devin McCourty aren’t content to be defined by their athletic glory. But rather, by their shared passion -- and determined efforts -- to progress equity and opportunity.

At the foundation of their humanity is a bond inspired by their Mom, who taught them to motivate each other’s greatness and goodness. Jason tributes their hero, “Our Mom raised us to be men that she could be proud of, men that have served their country and their communities to improve the lives around them.”

The McCourty’s impact is far-reaching -- funding a cure for sickle cell anemia, advocating before legislators for educational opportunity and juvenile justice reform, and leading the Players Coalition, to improve social justice and racial equality.

Devin reflects, “People often speak of legacy. I sure hope when they mention our football years, they include fighting for those without a voice, raising awareness for sickle cell, leading youth football camps, and being a part of criminal justice [reform].”

A legacy of social change the McCourty's will richly deserve."
