Who we are and why we exist

OUR MISSION

To use the power of special teams play as a fundraising and awareness engine to support childhood health and wellness initiatives - in partnership with teams, players, brands, healthcare partners, media, and fans.

THE FOUNDATION

A concept developed by nonprofit Fans & Donors Foundation, the Special Teams Foundation celebrates the crucial role of Special Teams - the unheralded "3rd Phase" of the game. Special Teams Foundation is developing a game plan for success built around Three Phases- Performance Fundraising, Media, and Events.

THE CORE INSIGHT

In healthcare, positive outcomes occur when special teams execute successful operations. The same is true in football. Special teams don't get the headlines - but they change games. This foundation changes lives in the same way.
