Israel Idonije should win the Good Samaritan of Sports Award. Israel Idonije's whole life has been about giving back; which is what the Good Samaritan of Sports Award was meant to honor, and why he should win it. Even as a youth, a major part of his life was about giving back. He enjoyed participating in several food drives organized by his father. Later in life, when he joined the Chicago Bears, he started the Israel Idonije Foundation.

“Tienes tijeras?” asked a young girl. We stared at each other for an awkward moment. Not understanding what she had said, I asked her what she needed in English, but she looked back at me with eyes full of confusion. Unsure what to do in the situation, I had to eventually ask my Spanish-speaking friend for help. A simple question from one young girl asking for scissors had made me nervous and completely freeze in the moment. How would I survive this language barrier for a week?
