On the biggest weekend of football dreams, Atlanta Falcons’ standout AJ Terrell is launching something bigger than the game.
Partnering with East Lake’s own Philly G Steaks, AJ Terrell and the AJT Foundation are proud to announce Cheesesteaks for Change — a community-driven campaign created to bridge the gap between athletics and academics for young athletes of color.
While the NFL Draft marks a life-changing moment for a select few, Cheesesteaks for Change shifts the spotlight to the millions of student-athletes whose futures will be written off the field.
This powerful initiative uses one of Atlanta’s favorite foods — the cheesesteak — as a vehicle for change. Every C4C Philly G cheesesteak purchased will directly support academic mentorship programs, life coaching, and educational resources for young athletes navigating their next chapter.
“Not every kid’s dream ends with a draft pick — but every kid deserves a chance to win in life,” says AJ Terrell. “This is about showing our youth they’re more than their jersey number. Their minds, their goals, their future — that’s what matters.”
Philly G Steaks, located in East Lake — a community once known for struggle but now rising with Black-owned businesses and pride — is the perfect backdrop for this movement. What started as a small cheesesteak shop is now becoming a symbol of purpose, power, and possibility.
