The Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund's mission is to assist retired NFL players & their families in dire need situations, with medical & financial assistance.
Many NFL players who helped build, shape, and mold the NFL into what it is today, are paying the price physically, mentally, and emotionally from their playing days. In the transition to life after football, many retired players, especially older players from the pre-93 era, find they lack adequate disability, rehab, health insurance and retirement programs to allow for & maintain a quality of life. They find themselves with physical limitations, medical issues and other hardships.
We provide hands-on assistance to help with the hardships they face after football. Services include medical assistance, pro-bono orthopedic surgeries, housing assistance, financial assistance for utilities, medication, food, and other day to day necessities. We are here to help.
