Former Bradwell Institute and Georgia State Football player, Ulrick John, says he is committed to enriching the lives of adults and children with disabilities.
The Liberty County native and current tackle for the Green Bay Packers created the Ulrick John Foundation with a mission of “Empowering adults/children with developmental disabilities by providing an environment that will allow those individuals to function through education, counseling and mentoring to fulfill their dreams and goals.”

John will be discussing his foundation at a meet and greet from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday at PS Tavern, 11 W. Bay St., Savannah.
The meet and greet is hosted by PS Tavern owners Paisley and Scott Minshall and ASM Sports Consulting.
The public is encouraged to come out to support the cause and meet John. Raffle prizes and other items will be up for auction.

In November, the Ulrick John Foundation and ASM Sports Consulting announced a partnership and the Vaden Nissan Group in Hinesville.
The partnership is supposed to enable both parties to help the Liberty County area raise awareness for children and adults with developmental disabilities.
