FAMU Alum Will Packer Joins Atlanta Falcons Ownership
Film producer extraordinaire and FAMU alum Will Packer, alongside Olympic legend Dominique Dawes, are strengthening their ties to Atlanta by joining the ownership group of the Atlanta Falcons.
Packer, known for his hit movies like Girls Trip, and Dawes, a gold medalist, are part of a select group of individuals carefully chosen to become limited partners in the Falcons' ownership. This move, announced by the Falcons, marks a significant milestone for both Packer and Dawes, who share a deep connection to the city of Atlanta.
For Dawes, whose historic achievements in gymnastics brought home America's first team gold medal in 1996, this opportunity represents a chance to continue inspiring others in the community she holds dear to her heart. Likewise, Packer, renowned for his contributions to the entertainment industry, sees this as a chance to bring his expertise to the football arena, further diversifying representation in NFL ownership.
Their involvement underscores the Falcons' commitment to diversity and equity, paving the way for future generations to see themselves represented at the highest levels of sports ownership. As FAMU celebrates the success of its illustrious alum, Will Packer's journey from Rattler to Falcons owner serves as a beacon of inspiration for aspiring entrepreneurs and industry trailblazers alike.
