DescriptionThe Foundation, created by the former pro football player, seeks to help families affected by autism live life to the fullest. The Foundation’s grantmaking focuses on three areas: access to services, active lifestyle, and adult community-based services.

Active Lifestyle grants provides support for recreational and sports programs, aquatic programs, social skills training, family events, and summer camps for all individuals on the autism spectrum.
