Marcus Trufant Talks about "Tru's Tackles For Teens Challenge." |
| Your pledge total will be based on Marcus' total tackles, including any playoff or championship games. You can pledge anytime—it is never too late! The amount will be calculated and processed after each game. Pledges made during the season will be retroactive to include all tackles made by Marcus since the first regular season game. |
 |
 |
Double click on the TACKLOMETER below to see how many tackles Tru has so far (then mouse-over it again to see the actual tackle count appear):
|
|
Regular season tackles made by Marcus in each of his last five seasons: 2007: 85 | 2006: 66 | 2005: 64 | 2004: 96 | 2003: 83 | Avg.: 79 Note: The Challenge will also include tackles made during the post-season. |
|
You can also make a one-time contribution instead of a per-tackle pledge. Your one-time contribution can still qualify you for a Thank-You Gift.
While you can pledge any amount per tackle, the following items autographed by Marcus Trufant are offered for pledges of $.25 per tackle and up, while supplies last (note minimum total donation needed to qualify for each gift):
| Seahawks Cap | $.25/tackle | min. $20.00 total |
| Marcus Trufant Action Photo | $.50/tackle | min. $35.00 total |
| Seahawks Sweatshirt | $.75/tackle | min. $45.00 total |
| Seahawks Football | $1.00/tackle | min. $60.00 total |
| Marcus Trufant Replica Jersey | $2.50/tackle | min. $100.00 total |
| Seahawks Authentic Helmet | $5.00/tackle | min. $300.00 total |
Donations will be calculated based on Marcus’ total tackles, including any playoff or championship games. Gifts will be sent after the end of the Seahawks season. Proceeds from the Challenge will be shared equally between the Trufant Family Foundation and CHOICES Education Group.
