Children received not only toys but clothing and other necessities as well. Thanks to the NFL Alumni Association and MFC Authentics and Framing, the team could bring toys to many children for the holidays
  • The NFL Alumni teamed up with the Scholastic Book Fair to provide kids with the importance of reading and education with a fun NFL twist.

Besides the book reading, students also received bookbags full of school supplies from the NFLA. In a fun effort to get kids to read, there were special events involving receiving free books for attending special NFL and NFL Alumni events

The course also gives them something fun to do right outside of their school
