The Ask: Create a BOLD, EMOTIONAL umbrella campaign that brings light and unity to the NFL's 50,000+ youth initiative programs worldwide.
The Idea: Huddles aren't just for sports; they're places where community is formed, and people grow, to encourage the finding of third spaces - huddles - for youth, our campaign leads parents and kids to find it here. Because change doesn't start alone, It Starts in the Huddle.

As part of the strategic plan and creative vision of It Starts in the Huddle, this national (potentially international) campaign extends beyond just the NFL's owned properties. It's a cultural movement that brings fans and non-fans together.
A 5-day, 5-city event across the country that brings together kids and parents to explore and enjoy the many types of initiatives the NFL has to offer. This, in many ways, is our huddle.
