Play dodgeball against former NFL players for a good cause

NFL Alumni Indy Chapter is 1 of 26 NFL Alumni Chapters across the U.S. It is a non-profit organization built up of philanthropic and civic-minded former professional football players, cheerleaders and associate members who volunteer on behalf of youth and charity, through our “Caring for Kids” mission.

In the last 4 years the NFL Alumni Indy Chapter has raised over $100,000.00 for local children’s charities.

We are really about giving back to the community.”- Krissy Garrett, NFL Alumni Indy Chapter

The Maddy Justice Keep On Shining Fund is inspired by Madeline “Maddy” Justice who was 13 years old when she was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia or AML on March 12, 2012. She fought bravely for almost two years until the cancer finally took her life on November 29, 2013 at the age of 15. This foundation’s goal is to raise money for Pediatric Cancer Research. It is also set up to fund a scholarship in Maddy’s name for a student at Franklin Central High School, the school Maddy attended, to honor Maddy’s legacy.
