"There's a lot of ways to answer why does football matter. I keep going back to connection and this bond that's formed and how impressionable a young person can be when they put on a pair of shoulder pads and a helmet." - @kennychesney
Year 4 for 44 🫡
Travon Walker returned to his hometown of Thomaston, GA, for his foundation's 4th Annual Free Youth Football Camp - centered around football, mentorship, development, and impact!
Yesterday, the NCAA Committee on Access, Opportunity and Impact formally recommended a National Collegiate Flag Football Championship. Its first championship would occur in spring 2028.
Great collaborative work between @NFL, @RCXSports, and @NCAA to make this a possibility.
To every young woman lacing up her cleats and taking the field: the stage is set for you. Let’s keep growing the game.

Two Sacramento football stars giving back together.
Arik Armstead (@arikarmstead) and Shaq Thompson (@ShaqThompson_54) hosted a free youth camp at Sac State focused on more than football - bringing kids lessons in academics, financial literacy and life skills.
“We’re trying to build well-rounded individuals, not just football players.” - @ArmsteadProject (@FOX40)
Day 4 in Sydney was an awesome display of the power of community!
We partnered with the Inner Council on bushcare, a locally run initiative emphasizing the care and preservation of Australia’s biodiversity. It was impressive to see the passion community members have for the ecosystem they live in, and we got to make a small contribution to keeping it healthy by hand weeding invasive species!

After donating $2,000 to @LBJSports football program, Vanderbilt RB Sedrick Alexander hosted a youth football camp for the community
Sed reflected on the impact he's making in the city that helped raise him...
"Coming to the field that I used to play on back in high school all the time, I'm just enjoying it, man, just having two camps this year, just adjusting from last year and just building on each and every year, and I think that's something great for our community and the kids"

Hundreds of thousands of people are on their way to Pittsburgh RIGHT NOW for the @NFLDraft.
These fans, prospects, and some of the biggest names in football are staying at our hotels, eating at our world-class restaurants, and supporting our small businesses.
And as a result, Western Pennsylvania will see over $120 million in economic activity this week — dollars that will be invested back into the Steel City, creating more opportunity for the people who live and work here every day.
Pittsburgh's time to shine is here as the NFL Draft starts today! The Wyndham has been lit up with a huge projection screen that will show the picks as they come in. The city was absolutely buzzing last night. I hope everyone visiting from out of town has a great time here! #pittsburgh #nfldraft
