Aaron Donald was born May 23, 1991.  He was born in Pittsburgh's Lincoln-Lemington-Belmar neighborhood.  He was born into a working class family. His childhood was part of his motivation to set up his charity program.  He went through the same struggles kids go through today. These struggles consist of lack of free sports available.  Many kids might not even go anywhere even if they have enough talent to play professionally. This is because of lack of free sports available.

Aaron Donald's father was a very talented football player in college but his dreams were crushed by making it to the NFL when he suffered a career ending injury.  This motivated his dad to train Aaron Donald to be the best football player he could possibly be. Aaron Donald started fully working out at 12 years old. He would wake up at 4:30 every day to train before school.  His dad truly made him the football player he is now. Once in highschool he joined the Penn Hills Highschool in Pittsburgh.  He received many awards throughout his first year of highschool.  He was viewed as a top prospect for colleges. Instead of Akron, Donald joined the University of Pittsburgh.  After college he was drafted by the St. Louis Rams as a defensive end. Today he is one of the best d-linemen in football.

Aaron Donald, born and raised in Pittsburg, grew up in a poor neighborhood.  Throughout his career he knew that if he would make enough money that he would give back to the community.  He wanted to give kids in Pittsburg and around the US the opportunity to play free sports. So far his program has been a great success and he loves doing it.  After his first official contract he started the foundation AD99. He is an amazingly hard worker and he carries the talent that his dad possessed. He visits communities with a lack of free sports and talks to kids around the communities.  Many kids' dreams will be fulfilled by playing professional sports because of AD99.

Aaron Donald has received many awards in football.  He is a 5 time pro-bowler and 2 time defensive player of the year.  He was also the 2013 lombardi trophy winner. He won the 2013 Bronko Nagurski Trophy as well.  Many people view him as an all-american great man. He has proved to be a great lineman for the Rams and hopes to continue to do so for a long time.  He continues to work hard in football and in his organization.

Aaron Donald has absolutely raked the NFL.    He set a new NFL single-season sack record for a defensive tackle.  He has recorded 72 sacks in his career.  He continues to cause tons of fumbles. As a QB he is one of the last people you want against you.  Not only does he dominate football, but he also is a great a loving father. He has two kids. The AD99 foundation will continue to provide for kids.  Thank you Aaron Donald!!
