Super Bowl Ring raffled off for charity

It seems that every few months there's a story about a down-on-his-luck former athlete who's selling a championship ring in order to earn a few extra bucks. This is not one of those stories.

Former New England Patriots safety Je'Rod Cherry is raffling off his championship ring from Super Bowl XXXVI to raise money for exploited children in Asia and Africa. He decided to do so after he and his wife attended a conference at his church in Ohio and saw children there raise $96,000 for an orphanage in Cambodia.
After that event, Cherry knew he wanted to help the cause, but was unsure how to do so until a young girl jokingly mentioned that he should raise money by selling his Super Bowl ring. Cherry liked the idea and decided that raffling the ring would be an effective way to raise money and awareness toward the plight of abused and neglected children in other parts of the world.
