HOMES FOR WOUNDED WARRIORS
We’ve talked about Jared Allen’s charity, ‘Homes For Wounded Warriors,’ before. Remember the Mullet Champs who were raising money for the same cause? Well, Jared took it a step further on ‘Celebrity Wheel of Fortune,’ winning over $100,000 for the charity.

HOW MUCH DID HE WIN?
In the first half of the show, Jared won almost $35,000. But he didn’t stop there. In the bonus round, he added another $75,000 to his total. And just to make things even more impressive, he earned an extra $10,000 in the second portion of the program.
Other players like Marcellus Wiley and Rashad Jennings also won money for their charities. While Wiley took home $72,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Jennings walked away with $6,000 for the Rashad Jennings Foundation. However, by the end of the show, Jennings managed to tally around $30,000 for his foundation.
Jared Allen spent six years as a defensive lineman for the Minnesota Vikings.
