FOXBORO -- Patriots linebacker Dont'a Hightower is continuing to do right by his mother, as he hosted another event tonight to raise awareness for diabetes.
Hightower hosted a private screening of “Wonder Woman” at Patriot Place for a group of women who face daily struggles with diabetes. It’s a cause that has been personal for Hightower, whose mother, L’Tanya, was diagnosed with diabetes a couple years ago. His grandmother and aunt have also been affected.
“My mom is my Wonder Woman, so what better movie to do it to?” Hightower said.
Hightower has also hosted annual Monday Night Football watch parties since 2015 to raise money for the American Diabetes Association.
