OXNARD, Calif. -- Jason Witten wanted to help Dallas heal after a sniper killed four police officers and a Dallas Area Rapid Transit officer earlier this month.
“That’s what everybody in our organization felt: To represent our community and give back to it," Witten said. "Our game is special because it can bring a community together. It can lift you up when you’re down.”
Witten’s genesis of an idea, combined with some help from team vice president Charlotte Jones-Anderson, helped create a special day for four of the families representing the slain officers, along with Mayor Mike Rawlings, Dallas Police Chief David Brown and several others.
