PHOENIX (AP) — Damar Hamlin made a brief appearance in Phoenix during Super Bowl week to receive the NFLPA’s Alan Page Community Award.
Hamlin read a brief statement Wednesday with his parents on stage with him at the Phoenix Convention Center. The Buffalo Bills safety received the award a little over a month after he went into cardiac arrest and needed to be resuscitated on the field in Cincinnati.
The Alan Page Award annually recognizes one player who goes above and beyond to perform community service in his team city and/or hometown.
Hamlin’s toy drive fundraiser has raised more than $9 million since he collapsed.
