Mission Statement
The NFL Alumni Tackle Obesity program is committed to leading an initiative that confronts the pressing issue of obesity in our communities. Our mission is to inspire and empower individuals to achieve healthier lifestyles through education, advocacy, and active engagement.
Obesity is a critical public health challenge affecting millions of Americans. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 42% of adults in the United States are classified as obese. This epidemic contributes to numerous health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers, placing a substantial burden on our healthcare system and impacting overall quality of life.
Recognizing the severity of this issue, the NFL Alumni Tackle Obesity program is dedicated to creating awareness and driving change. We plan to partner with schools, community organizations, healthcare providers, and local businesses to deliver comprehensive programs that promote healthy eating, regular physical activity, and mental well-being.
Just as in football, teamwork is essential to achieving our goals. By working together and leveraging the influence and dedication of our NFL Alumni members, incredible non profit organization partnerships, friends, family and members of the community, we will organize events, educational workshops, exciting fitness challenges and share inspirational stories. These initiatives will empower individuals to make informed choices and adopt healthier lifestyles, or as we like to say “tackle obesity”.
Our alumni, much like a well-coordinated team on the field, will share their personal experiences and successes to inspire positive lifestyle changes. By serving as role models, they can motivate both individuals and communities to join us in this critical mission.
Together, we can tackle obesity head-on and pave the way for a healthier future. Join us in this crucial mission to create a vibrant, active, and informed society that values and practices healthy living.
Sincerely,
