Wednesday
September 2nd

On September 2, we held the first ever Brian Dawkins Impact Chat, hosted by the NFL Hall-of-Famer & Impact Foundation founder – Brian Dawkins. NFL, WNBA, Olympics and MLB sporting and business greats took part in a one day only virtual experience of inspiration, entertainment and learning for anyone interested in bettering themselves and their community. Thank you to all those that attended and for your donations. 

All proceeds raised from the tickets sales  went directly to the Brian Dawkins Impact Foundation, specifically to support the Brian Dawkins Values Program that helps educate and engage young people around mental well-being. In the current landscape, kids’ mental health is at risk more than ever. This program helps prevent, aid and support wherever the young person is in their current state. Additionally, opportunities to bid on exclusive memorabilia items will be available across the day for a chance for additional donations that will help the Foundation reach more schools and more kids across the country.  Please note that the registration fee is a donation to the Foundation and is non-refundable.
