This project focuses upon a great athlete and person, Ernie Davis.
He was not only an award-winning high school and college athlete, he was a person people felt honored to know as a friend, teammate, and/or acquaintance.
Although he was a talented athlete, it was his genuine concern for others, natural ability to lead, modesty, integrity, sense of self and determination to always do and be his best that made him a person worth admiration.
Even when faced with struggles beyond our understanding, he handled himself, as he had all his life, with humble appreciation for the positive experiences in his life.
In honor of Ernie Davis, please read on to learn more about his life and then complete the character pledge so you can "Do it like Davis." Be the person others want to know, remember, and strive to be like. Be the person who influences others in a positive way.
The project goal is 4400 completed pledges. Pass this website information on to as many people as you can to reinforce the importance of character in all aspects of life and remind us all how one man's memory and way of life can influence generations to come.
