The Washington Redskins were not the only one’s who were winners on night one of the NFL Draft.
The Hog Farmers, Let’s Talk Redskins, and FPC Redskins held a fundraiser to benefit Abby’s Army. Abby’s Army is a nonprofit that helps children with pediatric cancer be able to act like children during treatment. The event was held at The G.O.A.T. in Clarendon, VA.
