Honoring Martin Luther King Jr.

As one of the most important holidays to our community, we remember the man who set an example we aim to work towards in our local communities.

Jan. 16, 2018 Professional Athletes Foundation

Dr. King was the voice of a movement at a time when equality for all was not yet a reality. Today, we continue to strive for equality, looking to community leaders to lend their voices, time and action to help those who struggle with adversity, poverty, oppression and any type of unfair treatment.

With so many great former NFL players doing charitable work in their communities, we encourage all former players to meet up with their local NFLPA Chapters, get involved with or start an effort in their community, and to let us know so we can continue to champion your great work in our “Paying it Forward” series in 2018.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
