(Michigan City, IN) - The efforts of a pro football player to help people in his hometown of Michigan City are not going unrecognized.

 

Braden Fiske recently held his second annual Family Fun Day at Ames Field.   The activities included bounce houses, a dunk tank, food trucks and live music along with raffles to raise money for the school sports programs.

 

During last night’s city council meeting, Mayor Angie Nelson Deuitch responded to his work in the community, including a recent fund raiser for the local branch of the Boys & Girls Clubs.

 

“I think that’s a testament to the kids and the young people we build in the community,” she said.

 

Fiske, a former football star at Michigan City High School, is a starting defensive lineman for the Los Angeles Rams.
