About
The Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund is a non-profit, 501(c) (3) corporation that provides financial and medical aid to retired NFL players in dire need. Many of the pioneers of the game lack adequate medical coverage, disability, or pension benefits to acquire the medical assistance, utilities, and other necessities they need for a healthy and dignified way of life. The Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund focuses on the humanitarian side of these great players, treating them with dignity, and addressing post-football related issues in their lives.
The Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund Board of Directors includes Mike Ditka, Gale Sayers, Marv Levy, Greg Brown of Motorola and Jimmy Johnson. There is also an advisory committee that includes Shayne Graham, Jason Kyle, Josh Miller, Chris Jacke, Frank Winters, Jim Andrews, Tom Cundy, Jim Marshall, and Joe DeLamielleure.
