Did anyone stay up last night to watch the Super Bowl? We won't ruin the score but alongside the star-studded crowd (looking at you Taylor!), Usher's amazing halftime show and Beyonce announcing a new album, we were interested in the charitable, environmental and community-driven aspect of the Super Bowl and the sport itself. - Did you know this was the first Super Bowl to be powered fully by renewable energy? - The NFL work with many charity partners that help support and raise awareness for early detection of cancer; the consequences of drink driving and support for victims of domestic abuse to name but a few. - They have a free digital education resources hub - Huddle at Home - for young people and their families. - The NFL have developed character education (helping young people to cultivate and maintain healthy relationships) and Environmental programmes (helping communities create everlasting change) - Inspire Change is the NFL's social justice initiative, aimed at reducing barriers to opportunity and working together across all aspects of the NFL 'family' to create positive change. There is much, much more that the NFL are supporting so please check out their website for more information. We are thrilled to read of the benefits for the communities, the environment and supporters that come from this mammoth event. https://lnkd.in/eHBGJ9XR #SuperBowlLVIII #Community #InspireChange #NFL

Hello, everyone! I know it's been a moment, and I want to update you on some exciting news. As many of you know, I have a thing for resiliency running and fundraising. So, I've decided to team up with the Marine Reconnaissance Foundations' (MRF) Athletics Program. As a member of the Endurance Team, we'll support the MRF mission by raising money to "provide emergency and recurring support, and related programs, to active-duty, reserve, retired, and former Reconnaissance Marines and Sailors, and their families." Is it tax deductible? Heck yeah, because the MRF is a 501(c)(3)! What does it all entail you ask? Well, 3 Lines of Effort focus on 1) Deliberate & Reoccuring Programs, 2) Emergent or Emergency Support, and 3) Promote & Preserving the Reconnaissance Legacy. There are a lot of sub-points under these, which is why I'm adding a few slides below to aid in understanding; DMing works too! You may ask, why is this important to you, Jay? And, I'll tell you this: Throughout my active & retired years, I have witnessed this organization provide support when the service couldn't do it promptly. There are instances where unique rules delay family members from traveling (air, train, rental car, etc...) to their loved ones. In other instances, financial support was provided to families that had lost their service members. Instances like these are where the MRF steps in. The MRF can disperse funds to those families; getting them to where they need to be or helping relieve some financial burdens. Please, help me reach my goal for them and myself. Like before, I'll be training and competing in a few races. As of now, I have the GA Jewel 35miler on 21 September in Dalton, GA. Then, the Spartan Ultra on 16 November in Newberry, SC. Here are the MRFs Social Media platforms, and a link to my fundraising page: https://lnkd.in/ebzkFzaU.

“Our fear is overcome by our conscience and our beliefs and forces us to act." - John McCain My son Rex is one of the youngest participating in this year’s New York City SEAL Swim to raise money for The Navy SEAL Foundation which provides critical support for the warriors, veterans, and families of Naval Special Warfare. This event consists of a mile run at the start, a total of 3.5 miles of swimming broken up by 3 stations where they complete 100 honor pushups and 22 pull ups, and a final mile run at the end to the World Trade Center. Please consider helping him in his journey. https://lnkd.in/egt6Wibm “Sworn to protect us from America’s foes. They operate under cover of darkness, against unimaginable odds. Not for status. Not for glory. But to defend our way of life. With strength, courage, and honor.” Funds raised will help provide critical, evidence-based programs for SEALs and their families - programs designed to build strength and resilience, encourage optimal health, enhance opportunities for growth through education, and solidify a sense of community and belonging. - $500 could fund travel for a wounded SEAL or Special Warfare Combat Crewmen (SWCC) in need of specialized care for their return to duty - $250 could provide graduate-level test prep assistance for a transitioning SEAL or SWCC - $150 could fund one session of grief counseling for a Gold Star family member - $100 could pay for a physical rehabilitation session for a SEAL or SWCC - $50 could cover two hours of Respite Child Care for one family of a deployed service member - $25 could provide one meal for a Command Memorial - $10 could fund 1 water bottle for an NSW kid at Summer Camp #SEALswim #NSF #NSFTeammates #NavySEALFoundation #NYCSEALSwim

There are two sports-related stories that have been on my mind lately. What Tim Tebow is doing is exceptional ... really special..... and changing lives and communities. He is "doing the hard things" to elevate and equip others in their "darkest hour of need." Being a "voice for the voiceless," the Tim Tebow Foundation is transforming communities that emerge from boldness, confidence, and a clear mission. How can our organizations go beyond their missions to support ignored communities? The Savannah Bananas have shown incredible perseverance during their short eight-year journey. Through consistent hard work, they have honed their business model and built a strong audience base. Despite the cultural division and anxiety of these times, they have brought joy and fun to their fans. Now, they will play in a Major League Baseball (MLB) stadium, and likely in a sold-out stadium. Boldness. Confidence. Helping the ignored. Perseverance. People-centeredness. Pure joy. That's a good list to reflect on this weekend. Which of these encourages or challenges you the most? And I'll take suggestions for how to illiterate the first three. #boldness #confidence #timtebowfoundation #perseverance #peoplefirst #joy #charity #baseball #houston #missiondriven

Coach Brett Vavra and his dedicated staff have poured their hearts into this program, and the impact is nothing short of remarkable. As someone who grew up within this programs embrace, I've witnessed firsthand the transformative power it holds for young men. Football isn't just a game; it's a classroom where nearly 100 young men learn the most important lessons life has to offer. An entire ecosystem of growth and opportunity. Teaching loyalty, teamwork, resilience, goal-setting, and accountability—qualities that are sadly scarce in today's world. For many, football is their lifeline. Without the guidance and support of their teammates and coaches, far too many would find themselves lost in the world of darkness that exists off the field and outside the classroom. Your contribution isn't just an investment in a football program; it's an investment in the future of these boys. It helps fuel a vehicle that shapes them into the compassionate, resilient leaders our world desperately needs. Every little bit helps. If you aren’t in the position to donate, I encourage you to share this post. #GOJACKETS
