BREAKING NEWS: Georgia Bulldogs’ Gunner Stockton Donates \$5 Million to Build Homeless Support Centers in Tiger, GA
In a remarkable act of generosity, Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Gunner Stockton has donated his entire \$5 million in earnings from recent games and sponsorships to create a network of homeless support centers in his hometown of Tiger, Georgia. The initiative, announced at an emotional press conference this morning, will fund the construction of 150 permanent housing apartments and 300 shelter beds for individuals and families in crisis.
“I’ve witnessed far too many people back home struggling to survive cold nights without a roof over their heads,” Stockton said, holding back tears. “I promised myself that if I ever had the chance, I would step up and take action. No one deserves to sleep outside in that kind of cold.”
The centers will not only provide safe, warm shelter, but also offer mental health support, job training, and addiction recovery services—aiming to break the cycle of homelessness in the small mountain town.
Local officials and community leaders were quick to praise the 23-year-old athlete, hailing him not just as a football star, but as a role model for the next generation.
“This isn’t just charity—it’s leadership,” said Mayor Linda Henson. “Gunner’s heart and commitment to this community will change lives for decades.”
The first center is expected to open by the end of 2026, with construction already underway.
For Gunner Stockton, it’s about staying true to his roots. “This town made me who I am,” he said. “Now it’s my turn to give something real back.”
In a time when headlines often focus on controversy, Stockton’s bold move is a powerful reminder of the impact one person can make—on and off the field.
