What we do

Four ways we serve
those who built the game.

Providing Benefits

The PFRPA Dental and Vision Plans give players who retired by 2013 — and their spouses — real coverage: a $3,000 annual dental maximum each, plus frames, prescription lenses, and contacts.

Creating Opportunities

From the Social Media Workshop to Gridiron Gaming, we build new arenas for retired players to compete again, grow their personal brands, and connect with the fans who never forgot them.

Facilitating Partnerships

Through the Football Greats Alliance — our independent licensing agency — players collaborate with brands on deals, commercials, and appearances, earning income and funding the Greater Good Fund.
