Big man, big character, collecting for local kids

Be on the lookout for a fun-loving Charlotte character on Friday before the Carolina Panthers game.  Willis Draughn Jr., who’s character is Willie Jankins, will be asking for donations for the local non-profit.
You won’t be able to miss the over-the-top Jankins.  At 6 feet, 4 inches tall and 320 pounds, he’ll be sporting his favorite Carolina Panthers wear with nearly 30 kids in tow.
“Every dollar helps,” Jankins said. Remember to smile!  It’s free. I love y’all.
