WHY SHOULD YOU SUPPORT?

Darren's Why for leveraging his platform as a NFL player is to share his and others' experience with substance abuse to provide a safe, affirming, accepting, and encouraging environment for students and aid the prevention of substance misuse.

Founded in 2020, The Darren Waller Foundation is New York Giants tight end Darren Waller's personal 501c3 nonprofit foundation that he founded when he was playing for the Las Vegas Raiders. The mission of the Foundation is to equip youth to avoid and overcome addiction to drugs and alcohol, and to support youth and their families during their recovery and treatment journey. 

Since its inception, the foundation has provided 52 individuals (ages 18-26) suffering from addiction with Darren's Against the Wall grants to receive 30-45 days of professional recovery care and 3-5 months of paid sober living housing. In addition, the foundation has impacted thousands of lives in Las Vegas, and around the country through Darren's Wall Talks.  

Over $1M in recovery grants have been awarded so far!
