The NFL star returned home on Saturday to donate bikes, toys and backpacks to more than 300 children.

YULEE, Fla. — Derrick Henry, celebrated as a formidable running back in the NFL, took a trip back to his hometown in Yulee on Saturday. Crowds of families gathered around the Yulee Sports Complex, eager to greet their local star.

Henry organized his annual “Two All Community Day,” an event open to all featuring music, games, food, and most importantly, an opportunity to give back. The Heisman Trophy winner distributed bikes, toys, and backpacks to over 300 children from the area, ensuring every youngster went home with something special.

“This is exactly what I dreamed about,” Henry shared with First Coast News. “Kids and families enjoying themselves, giving back, and being a source of joy to the community that nurtured me.”

The crowd roared as Henry arrived inside the gym, high-fiving fans and taking photos with young athletes who look up to him, not just for his stats, but for his heart.

“I want the kids happy, everybody to have a good time, come out, have fun, and be exhausted by the end of this,” said Henry. “I want to do this every single year.”

The event was made possible through Henry’s Two All Foundation, which has donated to youth programs in both Tennessee and Baltimore, where he’s played professionally.

But Nassau County leaders say there’s something special about seeing him come back home.

“We’re just lucky to be a part of it,” said Jay Robertson, Parks and Recreation Director for Nassau County. “I mean the things that he’s done and both of the towns that he’s lived in with the communities that he’s involved in, both Tennessee and Baltimore. They speak for themselves to all foundations that he operates. They give back everywhere.”

Henry says this is just the beginning, and he plans to continue growing the event in the years ahead.
