NFL Salute to Service | NFL.com
Salute to Service represents the NFL's unwavering dedication to honoring, empowering, and connecting with our nation's service members, veterans, and their families. It is grounded in deep partnerships with the Bob Woodruff Foundation (BWF), Pat Tillman Foundation (PTF), Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), United Service Organizations (USO) and Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP). Since 2011, more than $73 million has been raised for these Salute to Service partners.
Honor, Empower, and Connect Moments with our Military Community
THE NFL’S COMMITMENT TO THE MILITARY COMMUNITY
The league honors the service and sacrifice of our military through partnerships, grants, and recognition of service members, veterans, and their families.
The NFL leverages its platform and resources to create a positive impact for our nation's heroes. In collaboration with our partners, the league aims to enhance the independence of wounded warriors, improve veteran physical and mental health, and promote prosperity within the military community.
The NFL unites service members and their families through a shared love of football, fostering connections within the military community and beyond.
The USO and NFL work together to deliver programs and events that support active-duty service members and military families across the globe, keeping them connected to the things they hold dear: family, home, and country. From NFL players and coaches traveling overseas on USO tours, to building new USO centers including a state-of-the-art gaming mobile vehicle, the USO and NFL supports service members around the world throughout their service to the nation.
The NFL works with Wounded Warrior Project to support wounded veterans with empowering programs and resources. Initiatives like Project Odyssey, a multi-day workshop, enhance mental health and assist veterans in rediscovering their inner strength. Veterans can live life on their own terms with the help of these no cost resources.
The NFL's support has transformed hundreds of lives through the Pat Tillman Foundation's Scholar Program, empowering active-duty service members, veterans, and military spouses with academic scholarships, a national network, and professional development opportunities.
Through our partnership with TAPS, the NFL honors families of those who sacrificed their life for our country by hosting them at year-round NFL events and by supporting programs that help heal through mentorship and counseling.
The NFL helps address the most urgent and emerging needs of our service members, veterans, families, and caregivers through a grant referral pipeline that leverages the Bob Woodruff Foundation's esteemed reputation in the military space.
The Salute to Service Award presented by USAA acknowledges the exceptional efforts by members of the NFL community to honor and support U.S. service members, veterans, and their families.
The NFL has partnered with the Bob Woodruff Foundation (BWF) to those who have served in the military and their families. Through this partnership, BWF helps invest NFL funds in communities where they are needed most.
The USAA and NFL partnership aims to create a meaningful impact and express gratitude to the military community by providing year-round support, raising awareness, and recognizing the sacrifices made by those who serve.
