INDIANAPOLIS - Sept. 18, 2014 - PRLog -- New Jersey native, Mike Adams, is no stranger when it comes to giving back to the community.   On Tuesday, Mike visited Phalen Leadership Academy of Indianapolis and gifted over a hundred students with new backpacks filled with school supplies.

The visit consisted of an excited crowd of students along with PLA staff who warmly welcomed Adams with fun chants.   Adams gave each of the students a personalized bracelet that read his name and his favorite quote, ‘No Struggle No Progress’.  He defined the significance of the quote and it was received well by the young students. There was a fun Q & A time, which enabled Adams to engage with the kids.  The city of Indianapolis has welcomed Adams with open arms.  On top of his position on the field, Adams plays a consistent part in the community.

He was asked, “Why do you do this?”  Adams responded with, “Because I see hope, I see the next president, I see the next school teacher, the next successful barber, the next successful garbage man.  Whatever it is, doesn’t have to be a professional football or basketball player”.

The event Tuesday concluded with many happy faces.  The kids enthusiastically received Adams gifts to them and were able to get hugs and handshakes on their way out.
