A MESSAGE FROM THE NFL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
Join us for the Super Bowl of Golf
The Super Bowl of Golf has a rich history dating back to October 31, 1980. Each year, winning teams from various qualifying tournaments receive invitations to compete in our championship playoff held at a warm resort. This event serves as a highlight of the NFL Alumni Association’s Annual Meeting, where the winning team is awarded championship rings inspired by the iconic Super Bowl rings. We are thrilled to bring this tradition to the scenic WinStar World Casino and Resort to continue our legacy of competition and community.
Byron represents an amazing amount of experience, knowledge, and network connections accumulated over his 20 plus years as an NFL professional player, businessman, and leader. Through the Best Wishes Foundation, we focus on four key pillars: Youth Mentoring, Youth Education and School Development, Developing and Sustaining Mental/Emotional IQ, and the Outreach Huddle. We believe that with all of us working together, we can accomplish great things. Our goal is to create an environment that promotes individuality while ensuring that sports unite us across all backgrounds, identities, and protected classes.
Your support and contributions enable us to meet our goals and help fund special events. These efforts support a young person with sports equipment, transportation to or from a sporting event, and participation in football mini-camps. Furthermore, we help aging athletes connect with valuable healthcare resources. At the heart of the NFL Alumni Association’s Caring for Kids lies the steadfast belief that everyone, regardless of cognitive or physical abilities, deserves the opportunity to enjoy and embrace life to the fullest.
We look forward to an incredible tournament where your participation helps us foster a world where diversity is celebrated and inclusion is paramount. Thank you for standing with the NFL Alumni Association and the Best Wishes Foundation to help us meet our goals and support our community.
