[WALTER JONES @BigWalt71]

I am so humbled and honored to be named amongst the legends on this team. Thank you, @Seahawks for taking this kid from Alabama and giving him a platform to better his life. I hope I always represent the @NFL and the city of Seattle the way it’s deserved.

Thank you. #NFL100

.@GretaThunberg, don’t let anyone dim your light. Like the girls I’ve met in Vietnam and all over the world, you have so much to offer us all. Ignore the doubters and know that millions of people are cheering you on.

Thank you to Lenny Wilkens, former @NBA Seattle SuperSonics Allstar and coach, a man of generosity, kindness, dignity, honor and inspiration, and the @LWFoundation for your $400,000 gift, a culmination of millions given to our Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic since 1971.

Christmas gift idea for that person who already has enough shirts or sweaters: Tell that person you instead sent in something to help a veteran move pain free.

Thank you to @realstevepool for an unmatched impact on Seattle. We're grateful to call you a friend, Steve. Best of luck in retirement!

My cancer is in remission but I have decided to retire. Throughout this coming week I will have a lot more information on what is next for me. Thanks for all the support!

Well, it’s official...

Today is a great day for Seattle hockey & Palm Springs hockey.

[Wilkens Foundation @LWFoundation]

Agreed

[Eldridge Recasner @erecasner]

As the @NBA gets ready to kickoff I have one question for NBA teams:

Why is Jamal Crawford @JCrossover unsigned?

[Wilkens Foundation @LWFoundation]

Kenny and Gretchen are truly helping these vets live a better life!

[Kenny Mayne @Kenny_Mayne]

The next vet is lined up for Oct. We were under the number to afford that but then @DaleJr loaned us his name & time.

Might finally put @trackjenny to work. She offered her help a year ago.

Who wants to get some elite training for their runner kid? Auction coming.

THIS CLINIC HAS ALREADY REACHED MAX CAPACITY OF 100 KIDS! SORRY!!!

[Aaron Blank @AaronBlank]

Coach Lenny Wilkens: thank you for being a champion in our society. I wish you ran for President!Thanks for taking my team at @TheFeareyGroup alongside you this past decade. We’ve shared great laughs, had some fun and raised some good money for kids in need!

The lighting is bad but emblematic of the tone of the poetry we wrote that night between auction items at the ⁦@LWFoundation⁩ event.
