American Youth Football Names Atlanta Falcons Running Back
A commitment to helping others, community service, and volunteerism – the foundation on which the Giving Back Program of American Youth Football (AYF), the largest youth football and cheer organization in the country, is built. From the many AYF volunteers who give selfless hours of their time, to the youth who give back to their community via AYF community projects, the dedication to enrich the lives of others is our mission. When we see these traits in individuals who share our vision and act upon it, we are compelled to acknowledge their efforts, which is why AYF has chosen Warrick Dunn to be our Giving Back Pro of the Year.

Braylon Edwards offered more than just advice and encouragement to 100 Cleveland Public Schools eighth-graders recently. He offered $1 million in college scholarship money, the largest donation by a professional athlete in Cleveland sports history.
Carroll appeared for free to help raise money for the San Luis Rey Trojans, an American Youth Football team based in Oceanside. The team is the newest in the AYF which has more than 6,000 players and cheerleaders throughout San Diego County. The league was started as a less-expensive alternative to Pop Warner. Four divisions exist for players 15 years old and younger with no residential boundaries. Dan Armentrout said the money raised will be used to subsidize the $100 entry fee for players who cannot afford to pay. There are 150 players on the Trojans roster and Armentrout said nearly 40 percent need financial help. Howie Long Donates Fieldturf Field to St. Annes Highschool

AYF president Joe Galat thanks his friend Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila, Defensive End for the Green Bay Packers (58 1/2 career sacks) for "Giving Back." Gbaja-Biamila donated the Weight Room, at his former Crenshaw High School Athletic Department. Kabeer wants to help young athletes who are willing work hard to improve their strength and skills, so they can have all the opportunities to succeed. .
In this time of year when NFL free agent signings dominate the headlines,
it is great to hear players like Kabeer still take time to "give back" to
those who helped him in his career.

Drew Brees Gridiron Classic “... the Brees Gridiron Classic. That’s what my foundation, the Brees Dream Foundation, is calling it...We’re playing four Pee Wee football games between the Pop Warner championship teams and the American Youth Football championship teams.” (on why he decided to put it on) “Basically, I wanted to do this to give those kids an opportunity to play in a venue like Qualcomm (Stadium). I think that helps further their dreams and aspirations to maybe go on and become a professional athlete or coach, or whatever it might be, but to stay in athletics because I think athletics with kids is very important. It gives them avenues to stay away from distractions and the sort of things that go along with high school and middle school. It’s also perhaps to give them opportunities to go to college and that sort of thing.” (on admission to the event) “We’re asking people to bring canned goods or other non-perishable food items as admission. That food will go to food banks, which will distribute it to military families during the holidays AYF record in Brees Gridiron Classic 3 wins
