Vernon Davis scores a touchdown against the Cowboys last season. During a Tuesday celebration at Truesdell Education Campus in Northwest, where Davis used to hurl a football around with his elementary school friends, District Mayor Muriel E. Bowser will declare March 12 “Vernon Davis Day.”“It’s actually amazing,” Davis said in a phone interview. When this time comes around next year, it’ll be like, ‘Wow, it’s Vernon Davis Day.’ This is actually my day. Throughout his career, Davis has given back to his community. “I speak for the entire DCPS community when I say thank you for your commitment to our students and I look forward to celebrating Vernon Davis Day for years to come.”In addition to his philanthropic efforts, Davis is an aspiring entrepreneur and actor.
