BEREA, Ohio – The Cleveland Browns Foundation and the Stay in the Game! Attendance Network (SITG!) have announced WR Cedric Tillman as a new Stay in the Game! Attendance Network ambassador to help further the network's mission of improving school attendance and reducing chronic absenteeism for Ohio students.
As a SITG! Ambassador, Cedric Tillman will serve as a role model for students by attending various events at local schools to engage students in the classroom and by using his platform to highlight the importance of consistent student attendance. Since he joined the Browns in 2023, Tillman has participated in a number of events at schools throughout Northeast Ohio to encourage students and celebrate school attendance.
"I'm honored to be a part of the Stay in the Game! Attendance Network," said Browns WR Cedric Tillman. "School was the foundation that helped me pursue my dreams and I want to help students across Northeast Ohio learn that success first starts with showing up every day and that we're here to support and encourage them."
Tillman, who graduated with a degree in Communications Studies from the University of Tennessee and was a three-time member of the SEC Academic Honor Roll, joins a growing list of Browns players who have supported the initiative since its inception in 2019, continuing the organization's long-standing commitment to education and youth development.
"We are thrilled to welcome Cedric Tillman as the newest ambassador for the Stay in the Game! Attendance Network," said Renee Harvey, Vice President of Community Impact and Foundation for the Cleveland Browns. "Cedric's commitment to excellence, both on and off the field, serves as an inspiring example for students to the power of consistency and perseverance. His leadership will be instrumental in encouraging students to prioritize attendance, engagement and their long-term success."
Launched in 2019 by the Cleveland Browns Foundation, Ohio Department of Education and Workforce and Harvard's Proving Ground, the Stay in the Game! Attendance Network, managed by Battelle, works together to campaign, connect and convene with experts and supporters to dramatically improve attendance.
