Super Bowl

XLIX

The National Football League Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of those touched by the game of football. Whether you consider yourself a fanatic or just a fair weather fan, there is no denying the sense of excitement that comes along with knowing your state is hosting the big game. In addition to serving as host state, more than a handful of charitable groups was strengthened fiscally because of Super Bowl XLIX. The overall morale of a number of public schools and students was also positively impacted through more than a dozen pre-game activities across the valley. Twenty-five 501(c)3 non-profit organizations shared a Super Bowl Legacy Grant of $2 million dollars to support health and wellness programs for the state of Arizona. The funding is intended to assist with mentoring programs, the construction of playground equipment, physical activity workshops, nutrition advisement, literacy classes, tutoring, medical care for homeless families and more. The recipients of the Legacy Grant include: •Arizona Foundation for Women •Arizona Science Center •Assistance League of Phoenix •ASU Foundation for a New American University •ASU Preparatory Academy •Balsz Elementary School District •Barrow Neurological Foundation •Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Scottsdale •Challenger Learning Center of Arizona •City of Phoenix FitPHX •City of Tempe •Crisis Nursery •Ecological Restoration Institute - NAU •Elevate Phoenix •Esperanca, Inc. •First Things First Foundation •Florence Crittenton of Arizona •Larry Fitzgerald First Down Fund •Phoenix Indian Center •Phoenix Public Library •Playworks Arizona •Positive Coaching Alliance •Read On Arizona

Arizona Cardinals President Michael Bidwell and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell honored the groups at the ASU Preparatory Academy where a portion of the funding will be used to refurbish the school’s athletic field and install a new scoreboard, benefiting K - 12 students and the local community at-large. Along with the NFL spearheading a collection drive that netted over 30,000 items to support underserved families at the Salvation Army, select players from a few of the NFL’s 32 leagues participated in a number of pre-Super Bowl activities providing an opportunity to take part in a selection of memorable events. Some of the enjoyment was shared at the Halle Heart Museum - a nonprofit organization whose mission is to build healthier lives that are free of cardiovascular disease and stroke. Arizona Cardinals’ Quarterback Ryan Lindley and former Arizona Cardinals Running Back Damien Anderson joined the nonprofit’s “One World” event that educated more than 250 fifth grade students about the importance of celebrating diversity. Local schools participating in the One World event included Balsz Elementary School, Barcelona Middle School, Bernard Black Elementary School, Brinton Elementary School, C.J. Jorgenson Elementary School, Maricopa Elementary School and Pima Elementary School. Part of the Super Bowl’s function is to “leave an impact long after the game is over”, according to the NFL Foundation’s public relations team. Continued on Page 6

Changing charities

Helping to keep in alignment with their goal of making a lasting impression, was the inclusion of a highenergy youth workout at the Phoenix Convention Center with celebrity fitness instructor, Shaun T, for 2,000 local children at the GMC Experience. The private event which also included current and former NFL players on stage with Shaun T., who created the popular workout program known as “Insanity ®”, offered an exhilarating encounter that helped to reinforce the NFL’s PLAY 60 program. In the months leading up to the Super Bowl, classrooms earned their invitations to Kids’ Day by completing the NFL PLAY 60 Challenge. The challenge, in partnership with the American Heart Association, also provided entrance passes to Make-a-Wish recipients, their families, as well as Special Olympians. With our community participating in over 30 NFL hosted events, it is not difficult to ensure that the state of Arizona has been enriched by the Super Bowl’s presence. A complete list of specific ways local organizations plan to utilize the $2 million grant provided by the NFL and the Super Bowl Host Committee are as follows: • Arizona Foundation for Women - Implementation of the Raising Arizona’s Boys into Men program for coaches and male student-athletes, ages 13-23, in schools located in urban and rural areas of Arizona, including Native American populations. • Arizona Science Center - Support of two projects at the Arizona Science Center, including a state-of-the-art inflatable and portable planetarium and related programs; and implementation of Focused Field Trips that provides free field trip experiences, teacher workshops and classroom materials for Title I, K-8 schools in Arizona. • Assistance League of Phoenix - Distribution of a new pair of athletic shoes to more than 5,000 youth in need through the Operation School Bell Program. • ASU Foundation for a New American University - Implementation of a forum and workshop for up to 100 adults who work with local student athletes from middle school through college. The program will focus on the importance of teaching ethics, values and leadership, as well as techniques to effectively achieve this goal. • ASU Preparatory Academy - Refurbishment of the school’s athletic field and installation of a new scoreboard, benefiting K-12. • Balsz Elementary School District - Purchase and installation of a high quality, ADA-compliant play structure, shade cover, security fence and security cameras for the school’s playground. • Challenger Learning Center of Arizona - Purchase of a software system for two state-of-the-art mission scenarios with advanced technological capability, providing a critical component in its two-year overall simulator upgrade project. Additional upgrades include interactive labs, electrical work, labor, supplies and teacher training materials. • City of Phoenix FitPHX - Physical activity and nutrition education for children, ages 10-14, at Phoenix libraries and parks in several underserved neighborhoods. ASU interns studying health will teach nutrition curriculum and lead physical activities. • City of Tempe - Construction of a fitness path in Tempe’s Escalante Park. • Crisis Nursery - Refurbishment of playgrounds at Crisis Nursery which supports vulnerable children and families throughout the Valley. • The Ecological Restoration Institute and Northern Arizona University - Protection of water supplies and restoration of forest health in Arizona. • Elevate Phoenix - Education program that provides 4,000 mentor hours to teach, tutor and transport students at five Title I elementary and high schools.

Changing Lives Through the CRC Foundation BY STAFF WRITER TAMICIA CURRIE

t’s not difficult to understand why Arizona Cardinals’ Defensive End Calais Campbell is quickly rising to the top as one of Arizona’s most charitable athletes. His magnetic personality and his philanthropic nature are the driving forces behind the CRC Foundation that he started in order to honor his father’s legacy shortly after his passing. The CRC Foundation stands for “Charles Richard Campbell” who Calais describes as a “compassionate, loving and dedicated” dad who spent a lot of time helping young teens in their state when Calais was just a young boy watching and learning to walk in his father’s footsteps.

Page 8 | Arizona Nonprofit Magazine

Knowing what it was like to struggle to make ends meet while raising six sons and two daughters, Charles Campbell was no stranger to leaning on the assistance of non-profit organizations to help his own family when challenging times proved to be difficult.

From feeding children to helping hundreds of families during the Thanksgiving holiday, the CRC Foundation is living up to its mission of “enhancing our communities by teaching quality life skills to assist with the development of young people.”

Described as an entrepreneur by his children, Charles Campbell instilled the importance of integrity and advocating for the less fortunate into the fabric of his household. “Dad would take food to underprivileged high school students,” Campbell shared speaking of the man he grew to admire. Charles Campbell’s favorite saying was “If you try something, don’t give up or don’t even try it at all!”

Calais Campbell also lends his time and good name to organization’s like the United Way and the Arizona National Guard. Through his manpower, along with other NFL players and volunteers, fitness equipment and a new fitness trail were installed one week before the Pro Bowl at the Arizona National Guard Armory in Phoenix.

Special Feature: Help for Housewives BY STAFF WRITER TAMICIA CURRIE

According to Nicole Williams, the ideal home maker is best-described by Daryl V. Hoole in her book “The Art of Homemaking”, as “a diamond, perfectly cut so as to bring out countless beautiful highlights. Just as each diamond is cut a little differently in order to make many facets, so is each homemaker a distinct individual with her own special traits and talents. But in both diamonds and homemakers, certain qualities must be present if each is to sparkle brilliantly and thereby be valued and cherished.”

REAL HOUSEWIFE

NICOLE

Opens up about starting a non-profit organization to support women through The Phoenix Homemakers Association.

WILLIAMS

and other things in the media have really given housewives a bad name. I want to help change that negative perception! We should not feel ashamed to be homemakers; we should feel proud.

Arizona Nonprofit Magazine: What were you doing in your life when you realized that you wanted to start a non-profit organization? NW: I had been looking for an organization for homemakers in the Phoenix area for quite some time, and wasn’t able to find anything. I decided since it didn’t exist, I needed to create it myself. I was trying to find new ways to reach out to women with beliefs and lifestyles similar to my own, and I felt this was the best way to do it. And with that, the Phoenix Homemakers Association was born! Arizona Nonprofit Magazine: When did you start your organization?

Arizona Nonprofit Magazine: What are your short term and long term plans for the group?

NW: I started the organization in June of 2014.

classes diminishing in schools. Household demographics have definitely changed over time, and we would like to bring back the more traditional way of life.

Arizona Nonprofit Magazine: What is your organization’s mission or purpose?

Arizona Nonprofit Magazine: What kind of feedback have you received since starting?

NW: The Phoenix Homemakers Association is an organization with a goal of providing support, education, fun activities, and homemaking resources for homemakers in the Phoenix area. I want homemakers that join us to feel confident and proud of their decision to be a homemaker as well as provide support.

NW: Surprisingly, I have received a lot of positive feedback! Many of the members said they were so excited to find the group as they felt very alone in their way of life and beliefs, and they finally found a place where they could relate to other women. I was extremely nervous when I started the group as I felt like it was rather controversial. I can see how women may look on what I do and believe negatively, and that is okay. I have learned it is okay to agree to disagree.

Arizona Nonprofit Magazine: What does your organization teach or support? NW: Our organization focuses on traditions that have been lost over time. I am to teach women how to be better homemakers by reading and studying homemaking books from the 50’s and 60’s. We also do classes on cooking, housecleaning, and sewing; basic skills that modern women are no longer being taught due to home economics

Arizona Nonprofit Magazine: Why do you believe your organization is important? NW: I believe my organization is important because homemakers are no longer looked at positively. Shows like “The Real Housewives”

NW: My short term goals are to grow and connect with the homemakers in Phoenix, inspiring them, teaching them, and supporting them. Long term, I would love to establish homemaker associations around the country! Arizona Nonprofit Magazine: What do you think are some of the common misconceptions about homemakers? NW: There are so many misconceptions about homemakers! Many think we socialize and shop all day, others think we sit on the couch watching soap operas and eating bonbons. A very common one, and one I think sadly a lot of women fall into, is the mother in sweat pants stained with food, unwashed hair thrown in a bun on top of her head, dragging her brood of children into the grocery store, bags under her eyes, and not an ounce of makeup on. With proper organization and priorities, she does not have to be that woman anymore! That is not what a homemaker should be, and she doesn’t need to be. No one needs to feel that overwhelmed, and this is why I feel my group can be so beneficial to many women. We can help them get their lives back on track! v

Frank Hinds, Co-Founder of Red Means Stop

n March 1997, Frank Hinds’ 17-year old daughter, Jennifer, was killed after a driver ran a red light. One year after her death, Hinds discovered that many of the laws, particularly those pertaining to red light runners, were not sufficiently punitive.

BY STAFF WRITER TAMICIA CURRIE

The organization’s mission is to change driver behavior through education and awareness of the consequences of intersection crashes. “Jennifer’s Law” works to increase penalties for drivers who injure or kill others by running a red light. “We provide teen driver training scholarships to low income families to help their teens become better drivers. We advocate for traffic victims in court and help guide them to grief counseling organizations,” said Frank Hinds. Their core message is profoundly simple and to-the-point: “You don’t want to be the cause of a crash that seriously injures or kills another driver, passenger or pedestrian because not only have you

Along his journey after working with legislatures to pass “Jennifer’s Law” in 1998, he met two fathers whose children had been seriously injured by red light runners and together, they started the organization entitled “Red Means Stop.”

destroyed a life, but you destroy families. You will carry that on your shoulders for the rest of your life,” Hinds asserted. Red Means Stop spends a lot of time speaking to high school students through health classes or drivers education workshops. They participate in public safety events sponsored by insurance companies, hospitals, local governments and businesses. “We’ve had several opportunities to assist crash victims in understanding the law and what to expect in court,” said Hinds. “We have advocated for victims in court, urging judges to utilize all applicable penalties,” he offered. According to Hinds, one of the biggest

misconceptions many drivers have is the “nothing is going to happen to me” theory which causes them to believe that crashes only happen to others. Hinds also stands by his belief that parents need to make it a priority to spend money having their teens properly trained in the skills of driving an automobile. He also believes that parents are often the worst driver trainers. “Too many parents are willing to shell out thousands of dollars for the latest technology, for dance lessons or tennis lessons,” he explained. “Yet, they won’t spend money teaching their kids to drive.” (Continued on Page 21)

Enriching Lives by Teaching BY STAFF WRITER TAMICIA CURRIE

LIFE SKILLS Having vast experiences to support his beliefs, Crump’s journey with education as a child was more like a dream come true. “Yale University’s, U.S. Grant Foundation came to the public school I attended in New Haven, Connecticut as a sixth grade student,” said Crump. “They said we want your top black male students. In as much, I became one of the selected,” he shared.

Frank Crump, Founder of UPI Education

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said,

“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically.” It is a motto that UPI Education believes in and its founder, Frank Crump, has dedicated his life to ensuring that children receive the proper training that they need in order to navigate in a world that is becoming increasingly more demanding.

Being selected by the U.S. Grant Foundation, afforded Crump the opportunity to attend Math, Science and English classes, held on the Old Campus at Yale, for six years while being taught by the top students from Yale and Harvard Universities. As a result of his stellar training, Crump could select practically any college that he wanted to attend. “That really opened up my eyes to the importance of education,” he admitted. That was not the only thing that Crump realized after receiving the best education a young Black male could only dream of in the 1960s. He also noticed a vast difference between

himself, the other boys who received the same training, and those who did not receive it at all. This realization coupled with his passion for progress, would lead him to look for more ways to make a difference. That difference became UPI Education. UPI stands for Unified Progress International and it was founded by Crump who first began working in the nonprofit sector with former National Football League (NFL) player great, Jim Brown, of the Amer-I-Can Foundation located in Los Angeles, California. Crump joined Amer-I-Can as Executive Vice President. The foundation taught life skills to inner-city youth and helped many LA city gang members and others across the country to turn their lives around. ”We were changing people’s lives, but we were catching many of them after they became gang members or after they were locked up.” Crump reflected.

Crump felt that the Amer-I-Can curriculum was very effective for its targeted audience and that such a program should be taught in every school across the country. With that in mind, he started UPI and created a UPI Life Skills Solutions™ training program. His hope was to provide youth with knowledge and information so that they could avoid the pitfalls that so many young people face today. According to Crump, “The UPI program is for all students/youth as we prepare them for life’s challenges and provide an individual road map which sets them on the right path.”

The Emily Center A Resource Offered by Phoenix Children’s Hospital BY STAFF WRITER TAMICIA CURRIE In May 1990, a small library was created within the walls of the Phoenix Children’s Hospital. It’s a hidden gem that opened more than 20 years ago but it is easy to miss it—especially if your visits to the care facility are infrequent or if your child is not diagnosed with a life-threatening disease. Not exclusively reserved for parents and patients whose stays at the hospital are expected to be long-term, the quaint and cozy library remarkably served over 71,846 people last year with quality information and resourceful health tools. The Emily Center which is located in the East Building on the main campus of Phoenix Children’s Hospital, is a goldmine with over 150 years of experience combined among the five nurses who provide supportive services to the patients who are looking for answers. Founded by Emily’s parents who are still actively involved in the library today, the center offers hope when families don’t know where to turn. For parents who need additional assistance to understand a diagnosis, free information can give them peace of mind when they need it the most. “We have a team here that you can’t beat,” said Eileen Mitchell who currently serves as the Program Coordinator for the center. “Our main focus is educating our patients,” Mitchell explained. The Emily Center is named after Emily Anderson, who was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia. A few days before her seventh birthday, Emily lost her battle. Recognizing that information was not as easy to understand as it needed to be, Emily’s parents sought out to make a difference for patients who would need support in the future. “The Emily Center is a safe area for parents to come down and receive guidance,” said Mitchell who has been with the center since

day one. “I’ve been here for 25 years. I’m retiring and I can walk out feeling like I’ve helped a family along their journey,” Mitchell stated proudly. When a child is diagnosed with an illness, parents can come to the Center and receive an assessment in order to determine what is needed and then find solutions. Open seven days a week to the public, the Emily Center also provides: • Thousands of books, videos, CD’s and articles • Registered nurses to help you to find answers to your questions • Age-appropriate children’s books and

videos about children’s health. While it harbors a wealth of information, the Emily Center is not a triage line. Parents are advised to call their children’s pediatrician when medical care is needed. All of the specialists, nurses and coordinators work very hard in order to meet each individual’s needs because every one is different and learns differently. “We always have someone who speaks Spanish,” said Eileen Mitchell. “Our goal is to meet the needs of all of our patients,” she assured. Part of meeting those needs includes reaching out to an extended network which includes other organizations and colleagues across the country.

“We have organizations who service children like foster-child and referral systems for adopted children,” she stated. “We work with schools and we really see ourselves as more than a library,” she informed. Whether visiting in person, by phone, email or U.S. mail, the Emily Center is a great resource for obtaining information when it is needed the most. “We are that caring voice and listening ear and that means a lot to families,” she concludes. For more information, visit www. theemilycenter.org or send an e-mail to emilyc@phoenixchildrens.com. The Emily Center can be reached by telephone at (602) 933-1400 or toll-free at (866) 933-6459. v

XLIX

CHARITY • CAUSES • COMMUNITY

Actress, Author & Activist Holly Robinson Peete, supported the national non-profit organization, Autism Speaks, at a preSuper Bowl tailgating party to honor an amazing Super Kid. The fundraiser and celebration held at Joe’s Crab Shack in Tempe, Arizona, recognized high school football player, Vincent A. Stover. Stover was diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder at the age of four. He is a Lettering Senior and Special Education student at Mountain “RIDGE” High School in Glendale, Arizona. In spite of Stover’s difficulties with the disease, the 17 year old, whose family classifies as “someone that will always give back to others”, maintains a 3.86 GPA and is a member of the National Honor’s Society. Autism Speaks is an autism advocacy organization in the United States that sponsors autism research and conducts awareness and outreach activities aimed at families, governments, and the public. Robinson-Peete who serves on the board of the organization and whose eldest son was diagnosed with the disease in his early years of life, spoke about the importance of spreading awareness and her hopes in finding a cure.

Taste of the NFL® will feed millions through XLIX’s Party with a Purpose Event

According to Autism Speaks online resource tools, “Autism currently affects 1 in 68 children and 1 in 42 boys.” Medical detection or a cure has not been discovered for Autism, but research efforts have improved a family’s ability to fight the disease and go on to living a productive life. v

The Taste of the NFL was a hit for hunger with Actress, Author, Philanthropist & Entrepreneur, Alyssa Milano as supporting spokeswoman for the non-profit organization. The 24th annual Party With a Purpose held at Westworld of Scottsdale, Arizona, was well attended by more than 2500 guests including celebrities, NFL Legends, Grammy awardwinning country group Little Big Town and Miss America, Kira Kazantsev. With proceeds benefiting food banks in every city, the Taste of the NFL’s fight to end hunger in the United States is a cause that makes a tremendous impact in communities nationwide. “I am very proud to be part of the Taste of the NFL and support their mission to get food to the hungry while kicking hunger in America,” said Alyssa Milano who admonished everyone to remember why they were there. “I can’t even imagine the heartbreak that parents endure if they are unable to provide their child enough food to eat,” Milano expressed. With cuisine from 32 NFL markets along with local restaurants, the event held Super Bowl eve, generated six-million additional meals for food banks across the country.v

Red Means Stop Continued u Continued from Page 11

The Streets of Destiny’s Children News Anchor T. Currie (center)

In Arizona, more than 800 people are killed each year in traffic accidents and nearly 50,000 are injured. Car collisions are the number one killer of teens and young adults (ages 15-24) in Arizona and the US. Just recently, a 34-year old resident of Arizona was on his way home when he was struck and killed by a red light runner. Justin Tharp, a technology salesman and newspaper delivery man, was hit at an intersection in Gilbert, Arizona, according to police. Tharp’s fiancee recently gave birth to their child - a son who will never meet his father. “Speed is the leading cause of red light running crashes followed by distracted drivers,” Hinds warned. Some of the distractions that drivers face on the road include, but are not limited to cellphone use, texting, talking to passengers, eating, reading, and more. It is evident that keeping one’s eyes on the road free from unnecessary hindrances is one of the best things to do in order to preserve (or save) lives. “The public can help us by becoming a volunteer or serving on our Board of Directors,” Hinds stated. The organization is largely funded by the community and corporate sponsors. “Tax deductible donations are a huge benefit,” said Hinds. The more help the organization receives the better off our fellow drivers will be. At the end of the day, red really does mean STOP! For more information, visit redmeansstop.org. v
