Randen Plattner

Hello, my name is Randen Plattner and I am from Kansas City, Missouri, born and raised. I went to a 6A high school where I graduated with about 500 people in my class. About my junior year of high school my head coach put the idea of playing college football in my head. I hadn't put a ton of thought into my future at that point in my life. So, from then on I made the commitment to myself to do what I could to give it a shot. I didn't want to have any regrets, any second thought of I should've tried harder to play college football. I went to work snapping all the time, going to camps all around the Midwest. When I attended the KSU specialist camp, I performed better than I ever had to date. There was something special about me being on campus and the atmosphere I experienced, I wanted to be a part of it. Now, I'm here studying mechanical engineering with a minor in leadership studies as well as an Masters degree in business.
To support Randen, check out his personalized series of merchandise HERE!
I have pledged to take 35% of the proceeds he receives from this merch sale and give back to those around him.
What does this look like?
If you have a charity you're passionate about, please leave a comment and a short story if you feel inclined as to why that charity means so much to you. Once a month there will be a charity chosen from those who buy some merch and recommend a charity I will personally donate to.
Why?
I have been unbelievably fortunate to be where I am at today. There has been a ton of people that have helped me get to this point in my life and I can't thank them enough. Now, I have the opportunity to be that person for others. Me selling a shirt with my face on it was never solely to benefit me. That is just not the person I am. My hair and personality are there to make people smile, now we can make a longer-lasting impact with the ability to donate back to those who need it.
