Today’s featured Mayfield Sports athlete is Packer's running back DuJuan Harris (@Ol_sLy_Foxx on twitter). Harris was born on September 3rd, 1988 in Brooksville, Florida. While attending Central High in Brooksville, he rushed for more than 3,000 yards and 45 touchdowns. He also competed in track and weightlifting. Harris went on to college at Troy where he accumulated over 2,600 yards and 27 touchdowns rushing and over 550 yards and 5 touchdowns receiving. After going undrafted in 2011, he was signed by the Jacksonville Jaguars where he spent most of the season on the practice squad, but did play in their final 5 games. Harris was released by Jacksonville in August of 2012. After spending part of the 2012 season on Green Bay’s practice squad Harris played in the final 4 regular season games, 2 of which were starts. He also started both of the Packers playoff games where he tied a franchise record by having back-to-back playoff games with a rushing touchdown. Harris missed the whole 2013 season with a knee injury.
According to DuJuan, he played running back most of his life just because of his height which is only 5’7” now, but he was always built for the position. His favorite part of playing for the Packers is the way the organization is run; with tons of tradition, an awesome fan base, and the team has faith in their players. If it wasn’t for football he says he’d be helping others, specifically juveniles, because it means a lot to help someone get on the right path and it creates a positive example for kids. His favorite color is black. Being given the nickname “Foxx” at birth because he had red hair, if he was an animal he would of course be a fox! Lastly if he had to describe himself in three words they would be: faith, because he hardly finds himself being worried; finisher, because he doesn’t like to start things he can’t finish; and affable because he is good spirited and easygoing.

Levi's Challenge Event a Huge Success with help from Packers Don Barclay and Jerron McMillian:
Levi Biestle is a 3 1/2 yr old young boy who was involved in a tragic lawn tractor accident. He has had 11 surgeries and three toes and part of a foot amputated. More surgeries will be needed, as will be money to help pay for these medical expenses. (To read about this in more detail, visit levischallenge.com
This past Saturday, Packers players Don Barclay, Jerron McMillian and a host of volunteers and local businesses got together to donate their time, money, services and raffle items in a concerted effort to raise money for this young Wisconsinite.
The Newburgh Fire department hosted the event, spearheaded by Wayne Sargent and Steve Tate of the "Ultimate Packer Fan Connection." There were raffles, auctions, food and beverage sales with all proceeds going to the cause.
LS Limo of Appleton provided free transportation for the players. Mayfield Sports Marketing donated items for the raffles and auctions. Too many others to mention were volunteers that helped run the day-long event.
News of the event was spread via social media by the players, fans and members of the Packers Talk Radio Network and Mayfield Sports Marketing.
But of course, the biggest draw were the appearances by Packers' players Don Barclay and Jerron McMillian, who both cleared time in their schedules to be there to support the fund raising event.
The players signed items that were then auctioned or raffled off. All event attendees received free autographs from the players, but were encouraged to make a donation if they were able to.
In all, it was a huge success; the day's events raised close to $30,000 to help Levi and his family with the medical expenses they face.
Many thanks go to all involved, but it was the appearance of the Packers' players that brought in the masses. If you want to make your next event a major success, please fill out our contact form and we'll be happy to discuss with you how we can help.
