NFL & United Way Launch National Character Education Initiative NFL & United Way Launch National Character Education Initiative Chicago Bears & United Way Metropolitan Chicago Host Kickoff Prior to the NFL Draft Chicago, IL (April 28, 2016) – The NFL and United Way Worldwide today announced the national launch of Character PlaybookTM, a new national education initiative focused on youth character development and healthy relationships. The interactive digital program will be implemented directly in schools in NFL team markets, starting immediately in 14 markets and expanding to all 32 and their surrounding communities over the next three years. NFL Commissioner ROGER GOODELL and United Way President and CEO BRIAN GALLAGHER will announce the newest element of their 42-year partnership at a launch event at Chicago’s Ariel Community Academy surrounded by more than 600 students, Chicago Bears alumni, NFL Draft prospects, local United Way leadership and district and city officials. The initiative will be highlighted Friday during Night 2 of the NFL Draft when students from the Chicago Public School system will appear on stage along with Israel Idonije, a 2010 finalist of the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award, which recognizes NFL players for their excellence on and off the field and is presented annually to one player. “The NFL has a long-standing commitment to making positive change across society,” said Goodell. “Helping young people learn to act with integrity, become leaders, and stand up for others are important values. Our continued partnership with United Way will help ensure that students throughout the United States can learn these important attributes at the youngest ages and become caring and productive citizens in our communities.” “Good character is a critical building block of strong communities,” said Gallagher. “By helping young people develop these skills and recognize healthy, productive relationships, Character Playbook is another example of how NFL and United Way are combining the love of team with a deep commitment to community to make a difference.” The initiative is funded by the NFL Foundation, United Way Worldwide and powered by EverFi, the education technology leader that currently works in more than 13,000 K-12 schools and 800 colleges and universities. Fourteen NFL teams and local United Ways are the first to launch and locally fund the program. They are the Arizona Cardinals and Valley of the Sun United Way, Atlanta Falcons and United Way of Greater Atlanta, Buffalo Bills and United Way of Buffalo and Erie County, Carolina Panthers and United Way of Central Carolinas, Chicago Bears and United Way Metropolitan Chicago, Dallas Cowboys and United Way Metropolitan Dallas and United Way of Tarrant County, Los Angeles Rams and United Way of Greater Los Angeles, Miami Dolphins and United Way of Broward County, New Orleans Saints and Capital Area United Way, New York Giants and United Way of New York City, New York Jets and United Way of Essex and West Hudson, Philadelphia Eagles and United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey, Seattle Seahawks and United Way of King County, and Washington Redskins and United Way of the National Capital Area. Character Playbook uses evidence-based strategies to educate students on how to cultivate and maintain healthy relationships during their critical middle school years. The course is comprised of six interactive, digital modules that cover key concepts around positive character development, social-emotional learning, and building healthy relationships. Designed for learners in grades 7-9, the digital learning experience enables students to engage with true-to-life scenarios that include bystander intervention strategies and positive relationship examples. “We often assume young people will simply find their way to positive character and healthy relationships, but it is a skill that can be taught and nurtured,” said EverFi Chief Operating Officer Tammy Wincup. “The NFL and United Way have always been committed to helping lift up communities and we are thrilled they will bring Character Playbook to students across the United States.” # # # About The NFL Foundation The National Football League Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of those touched by the game of football – from players at all levels to communities across the country.

  • Detroit's Thanksgiving Day Tradition
    DETROIT’S THANKSGIVING DAY TRADITION It was, legend says, a typically colorful, probably chilly, November day in 1622 that Pilgrims and Native Americans celebrated the new world's bounty with a sumptuous feast. They sat together at Plymouth Plantation (they spelled it Plimouth) in Massachusetts, gave thanks for the goodness set before them, then dined on pumpkin pie, sweet potatoes, maize, cranberry sauce, turkey and who knows what else. Actually, fish was just as predominant a staple. And history books say pumpkin pie really debuted a year later. But regardless of the accuracy of the details, that's how Thanksgiving Day is seen by Americans -- except Detroiters. They may have most of the same images as everyone else, but with a new twist that began in 1934. That's when Detroiters and their outstate Michigan compatriots found themselves at the dawn of an unplanned behavior modification, courtesy of George A. "Dick" Richards, owner of the city's new entry in the National Football League: The Detroit Lions. Larry Paladino, Lions Pride, 1993 Four generations of Detroiters have been a proud part of the American celebration of Thanksgiving. The relationship between Detroit and Thanksgiving dates back to 1934 when owner G.A. Richards scheduled a holiday contest between his first-year Lions and the Chicago Bears. Some 75 years later, fans throughout the State of Michigan have transformed an annual holiday event into the single greatest tradition in the history of American professional team sports. Indeed, if football is America’s passion, Thanksgiving football is Detroit’s passion. DETROIT AND THANKSGIVING DAY No other team in professional sports can claim to be as much a part of an American holiday as can the Detroit Lions with Thanksgiving.
