On Friday, January 19th 2007 @ 5:30pm in conjunction with the Indianapolis Colt's Playoff Pep Rally, the official 1st Annual 2007 NFL Alumni "Caring for Kids" Super Bowl XLI Raffle Drawing was done downtown in "12th Man Alley" south of the RCA Dome. More>>>

The NFL Alumni further seeks to sustain its benevolence programs by engaging in licensing, direct-mail merchandising and other marketing activities compatible with organizational purposes through Pro Legends, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary operated for profit.

A SECOND MAJOR OBJECTIVE of the NFL Alumni is that of fostering development of "youth through sports and sports through youth." Central to this mission is a sustained commitment to sponsoring wholesome supervised activities where meaningful social interaction can take place between adults and youngsters. The idea is to present prominent and successful athletes as role models. Alumni youth work reaches a high point during Youth of America Week, a celebration observed in conjunction with the opening of each new pro football season.

AFTER HELPING CHILDREN who lack the advantages they once had, the NFL Alumni membership turns to a third prime objective - caring for its own. This is accomplished through funding the NFL Alumni Foundation in cooperation with the National Football League. Commonly called the "Dire Need Fund," the foundation provides financial assistance to former pros experiencing circumstances of hardship.

IN RESPONDING to requests for assistance and in initiating projects of its own, the Board of Directors seeks to further the aims of the NFL Alumni's founding fathers in two distinct ways:

FIRST, the organization maintains a keen awareness of its distinctive origins as an advocate for the rights of former players. As a result, the NFL Alumni encourages and promotes increased benefits for retired players.

SECOND, the NFL Alumni continues to support those organizations and projects which offer special promise of advancing the quality of life in communities where Alumni chapters are located. The intent is to expand each chapter's outreach into the community through year-round participation by Alumni members in fund-raising and personal-service programs of other charitable organizations.
