NFL Football

The NFL, its players and fans will take time to remember the courage and resilience that followed the events of September 11, 2001 with special tributes in stadium, on field and on television during all games on Sunday, September 11. The first Sunday of the NFL regular season falls on the 10th anniversary of September 11, 2001.

The games and broadcasts on that opening Sunday will unite fans to recognize those who lost their lives, honor the families who lost loved ones, and salute the American spirit, the early responders on 9/11, and other heroes that contributed to the nation's recovery.

The NFL and the NFL Players Association will contribute $1 million to three memorials and two charities related to the events of September 11, 2001. The NFL and NFLPA will contribute $500,000 to the 9/11 Museum & Memorial in Lower Manhattan, and $250,000 to be divided between the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, PA and the Pentagon Memorial Fund in Washington, DC.

The NFL and NFLPA will also donate all proceeds -- expected to total at least $250,000 -- from the sale of auction items (www.NFL.com/Auction) to Tuesday's Children and MyGoodDeed from games played on Sunday, September 11.
