The NFL Alumni has been Caring For Kids for the past 25 years along with its generous sponsors, donors and volunteers making a difference in the lives of at risk children in our community who face challenges every day.
“Caring for Kids” is a national charter for the NFL Alumni that supports fund-raising efforts by the 31 NFL Alumni Chapters in major cities throughout the United States.
The Minnesota Chapter of the NFL Alumni is a non-profit organization of former NFL players and selected others who work voluntarily on behalf of local and regional youth to raise funds for youth oriented causes and to sponsor and participate in youth oriented activities. The voluntary undertakings of the Minnesota Chapter are guided philosophically by the fundamental ideals expressed in the motto of the NFL Alumni, “Caring for Kids”
Since 1982, the MN Chapter has donated over $2 million to more than 40 local youth-related charities including Minnesota Teen Challenge, Bolder Options, St. Anne’s Place, Make-A-Wish, Big Brothers Big Sisters and YMCA Camp Menogyn. The funds that support these charities are raised in two popular annual events. A Gala dinner, including a silent auction and raffle is held each winter. A charity golf tournament helps kick off the summer golf season, pairing celebrity and local golfers in the NFL Alumni Super Bowl of Golf event.
Your generous donations to “Caring for Kids” have made a difference in so many ways. With no paid staff, 100% of the net proceeds are distributed to local and regional charity partners. Our organization has provided direct support to thousands of at risk youth.
