Abstract

The National Football League (NFL) announced April 15 that Mental Health America (MHA) will be one of four national nonprofit organizations featured in its 2021 “Draft‐a‐Thon,” a fundraiser that drives awareness and action to close critical gaps at the intersection of pandemic recovery and this nation's hardest‐hit communities. The Draft‐a‐Thon will raise funds on behalf of Mental Health America and three other nonprofits: the CDC Foundation, The Education Trust and Feeding America. The money raised for Mental Health America will ultimately benefit MHA and its affiliates across the country, with a particular focus on MHA programs that reach people of color. “We couldn't be happier that the NFL has chosen to spotlight Mental Health America for this event, and that they've recognized the vital role mental health plays in healing the country,” Paul Gionfriddo, president and CEO of Mental Health America, said in a statement. “As the vaccine rollout continues, we must address the impact that COVID‐19 has had on mental health.” The Draft‐a‐Thon will be featured across live NFL Draft coverage on ABC, ESPN, ESPN Deportes, ESPN Radio and the NFL Network April 29–May 1 and will showcase Mental Health America's work throughout.
