Sign the United Way Healthy Kids Pledge!

Every year, millions of football fans come together to celebrate the start of another football season. The NFL and United Way want fans and supporters to share that same passion for our nation’s youth. One out of three kids in America is overweight or obese and we’re working to create opportunities for more kids to get active and healthy.

Beyond the health benefits, findings show students who are physically fit are more likely to do well on standardized tests, have better school attendance and are less likely to have disciplinary problems. Clearly, youth health is a key strategy for kids to succeed in school and life.

Together, the NFL and United Way are raising awareness about the importance of physical activity and nutrition; raising funds to support youth health programs; and offering kids more opportunities to get active and healthy through initiatives like the NFL & United Way Hometown Huddle. But we cannot do it alone. We need people like you to lend your time, talent and treasure to this issue. Visit backtofootball.org today to find ways to get involved.
