Julius Peppers caps year of community service with celebration at charity sneaker ball
Posted Feb 15, 2019
For Julius Peppers, Thursday night at the Harvey B. Gantt Center was the culmination of a year’s worth of community service. Peppers, who was Carolina's 2018 NFL Man of the Year nominee, hosted a formal sneaker ball in support of three charities that he handpicked. This was a charity event, but it was also a chance to celebrate the close of a legendary career.
