NASHVILLE, TN, NOV. 23, 2008 —Assisting those less fortunate is a point of emphasis for Titans players and coaches year-round by the holding of back-to school events, food drives and hospital visits, among other community initiatives. But during the holidays, helping those in need held a special place in the hearts of three particular Titans players.
Keith Bulluck, Jevon Kearse and David Thornton each held Thanksgiving meal events benefiting the less fortunate of Middle Tennessee. The hope? To bring a little joy to some of Nashville's neediest families.!

Bulluck kicked off the holidays for foster families during his fifth annual Thanksgiving turkey give-a-way at LP Field. Bulluck and volunteers of the Keith Bulluck Believe and Achieve Foundation distributed turkeys and all the trimmings to families from the Tennessee Department of Children's Services and other local non-profit organizations in need. Also on hand were Bulluck's teammates Quinton Ganther, Chris Johnson, David Thornton and LenDale White who in addition to taking the meals to the cars of the families, also took pictures and signed autographs for the children.
