NFL Alumni Atlanta Chapter Adopted Charities
For over 20 years, the NFL Alumni have supported Caring for Kids to benefits children in need through hands-on community service and fundraising events. The Atlanta Chapter is pleased to raise money for the following worthy causes:
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation – Atlanta Chapter
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation serves to fund the best and brightest minds in science to find a cure for CF, a life-threatening disease which affects approximately 30,000 individuals in the US. Ten million more—or one in every 31 Americans— will carry the gene. Most patients are children, who are usually diagnosed between birth and age three
Inheriting this genetic disorder from both parents, CF patients have abnormally thick mucus that builds up in the body and clogs major organs—primarily the lungs and pancreas. Although no cure currently exists, specialized medical care, aggressive drug treatments and therapies, and proper CF nutrition can lengthen and improve the quality of life of such individuals. In fact, for the first time ever, more than 40 percent of the CF population within the US is 18 or over.
With funding provided by the CF Foundation, scientists are aggressively pursuing gene therapy and developing drugs in order to give children who suffer wit CF a better chance of living long and full lives. In supporting vital care centers, the Foundation further plays a major role in fostering the physical and emotional wellbeing of CF patients.
PRIDE Institute, a Division of Youth United for Prosperity
PRIDE Institute, a division of Youth United for Prosperity, is a 501 (c) 3 organization which promotes the philosophy of "Professional Results in Everyday Efforts.”
Founded by Joseph Profit, PhD 14 years ago and operating primarily in Georgia and Louisiana, the foundation’s focus includes a process of pairing athletes with kids in order to instill hope and excitement in children about the future. In providing a conduit which connects the resources of the corporate community with youth and selected players, the PRIDE Institute fosters meaningful, lasting relationships that develop tomorrow’s citizens and, as a result, strengthen communities.
Young people, ages six to 26, are matched with athletes to learn life and business skills necessary for their long-term success. Each selected athlete is further teamed with a sponsor corporation to gain real-world business skills. Athletes, in turn, pass along such capabilities to their paired youth partners.
Additionally, our “Legends and Kids” program serves as a mentoring project in which athletes, agents, business professionals, and politicians share success strategies. Such projects enable young people to experience success as they gain character-building qualities, lifelong skills, and the desire to achieve.
Ernie Ladd Foundation
ERNIE LADD FOUNDATION, a non-profit charity, The ERNIE LADD FOUNDATION functions as a national organization. Our objective is to create social, civic, and academic environments that will improve the lives of youth and, therefore, build a stronger America By strengthening and supporting families, promoting self-sufficiency, and building vital, safe “NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS”, we enable kids to succeed.
“ERNIE LADD FOUNDATION” provides an innovative and holistic approach to enhancing achievement by developing kids’ talents and skills while also building their self-esteem and giving them a positive outlook on life. Our Celebrities often serve as mentors for the” NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS” program.
