NFL star Rodney Darnell "Lucky" Whitehead Jr. headlined the Prince William County Parks Foundation fundraiser for a Bicycle Pump Track on Monday, Dec. 11, 2023, at Cedar Run Brewery. About 50 guests were in attendance from groups such as NOVA BMX, Mid-Atlantic Off-Road Enthusiasts, Trails and Blueways Council, and local business owners.

Whitehead, a wide receiver who played for the Dallas Cowboys and the British Columbia Lions in the Canadian Football League, described his childhood in Georgetown South.

Whitehead said the Boys and Girls Club provided a positive environment where he could participate in different activities. This helped him realize he wanted to attend junior college, leading to his football career.
