The Boys & Girls Clubs of Middle Tennessee (BGCMT) are honoring Derrick Henry‘s return to the field by playing in to the 22 magic number hysteria that has taken over the Titans this week. Derrick Henry, who dons the No. 22 jersey, returns to the field post-injury on Jan. 22, 2022, 22 years after the Tennessee Titans last made a Super Bowl appearance.

BGCMT are asking people for $22 donations to celebrate the Titans road to the playoffs and to commemorate Henry’s return. Donations can be made here.

Henry has been a huge supporter of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Middle Tennessee since he arrived in Nashville. In the past, he’s hosted football camps, donated backpacks and school supplies, sponsored shopping trips, and provided holiday gifts for Club members. In addition, Henry helped a Club family who lost everything in the 2020 tornado by covering their rent and providing new home furnishings and clothing.

“We wanted to do something special to celebrate Derrick Henry because he has done so much for our youth, so the BGCMT staff and key supporters decided to donate $22 for the occasion,” says Jennifer Wheeler Buhrman, chief development officer of BGCMT. “Henry has been so generous to Boys & Girls Clubs, and this felt like a way to honor both the man and the player.”

Henry will be making his highly anticipated return for Saturday’s Divisional Round playoff game against the Bengals at Nissan Stadium. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. CT.
