Objectives and Focus
The AFL Foundation recognizes a societal need to redefine what is expected with role models. To address that, the AFL Foundation’s objective is to create a new, positive commitment to what modern role models can be. This includes:
- Improving lives through inspiration and education.
- Spreading positive influence in all areas of athletics for the world.
- Create opportunities to meet expectations, encourage development, and promote good health.
The AFL Foundation will achieve this through community-level programs that promote health and wellness through cardiac awareness, monitoring initiatives, screening events, and other informational and educational events, all with the ultimate goal of saving lives, creating opportunities, providing first-line access to health care, and preventing sudden cardiac death.
In many cases, an entire network of support, encouragement, and care is necessary to foster selfreliance, optimism, and a belief in oneself. The AFL Foundation’s efforts are devoted to providing all of the different things individuals in any situation need to survive, overcome, and thrive. The ALF Foundation brings together philanthropists, governmental and health care experts, and some of the world’s greatest living athletes to help bring awareness to these societal weaknesses.
- To give new meaning to the reality and influence of "role models" in all areas of athletics for our youth, their expectations, growth and health.AFL is dedicated to saving lives, creating opportunities and leveling the playing field
- To create at the community level focused programs for saving lives through cardiac and other monitoring initiatives, i.e. to prevent and lower the burden of sudden cardiac death and to give first line access to health care.
- To assist in upgrading and creating new facilities for our focused youth and others to experience exercise, fitness and health in credible facilities that allow them to take the first steps toward changing their lifestyle.
- To link athletics, fitness, education and health in a common network, build encouragement in an atmosphere that fosters self-reliance, optimism and a belief in themselves.
