Verizon and the NFL join forces to create the nation’s largest volunteer network with One More Sunday
January 29 2020 - 07:30AM
Today, Verizon and the NFL announced One More Sunday, a nationwide
call for football fans and communities across the country to pledge
to use the time they devoted to watching football during the NFL
season to come together to make a positive impact on their
communities during the off season. One More Sunday will bring
Verizon and the NFL’s shared commitment to volunteerism to life
with the mission of creating the largest volunteer network in
America.
“Verizon is committed to moving the world forward for good, by
leveraging our technology, innovation and people to make the world
a better place,” said Hans Vestberg, CEO, Verizon. “But we know we
can’t do it alone. Bringing One More Sunday to life and encouraging
everyone to commit to serving their communities is a powerful and
truly meaningful addition to our partnership with the NFL.”
One More Sunday will build off of the mission of Huddle for 100,
the NFL’s volunteerism campaign celebrating The League’s 100th
season. The goal of the program, to bring together the entire NFL
family to give 100 minutes of their time back to their communities,
was not only surpassed, but more than 300 million minutes have been
contributed to date.
One More Sunday encourages fans to huddle again and continue
making meaningful and lasting contributions to their communities
after the season ends.
“The success of Huddle for 100 proved that not only are football
fans passionate about football, they are passionate about service,”
said Roger Goodell, Commissioner of the NFL. “Teaming up with
Verizon on One More Sunday is a great way to keep the mission
going.”
Those who visit GiveOneMoreSunday.com or share Verizon’s related
videos on social using #OneMoreSunday, will be matched with local
volunteer opportunities in their community that align with their
passion points. Fans will also be able to pick their favorite NFL
team and rally support from their fan bases. Fans of the top ten
teams who generate the most pledges could have an
opportunity to serve alongside NFL players. One More
Sunday is a part of Verizon’s overall social responsibility
commitment to volunteerism. As part of these efforts, Verizon is
challenging its employees collectively to donate 2.5 million
volunteer hours by 2025 to help purposefully impact the communities
in which they live and serve.
