Event overview

Join us as we serve alongside the NFL and help clean up Douglas Park!! To commemorate its centennial season, the NFL launched Huddle for 100, which is making meaningful investments in the places our fans call home and inspiring the entire NFL family—fans, clubs, players, and partners—to give back to their communities. This collective action of giving back is taking shape through a series of “Huddles” around various causes throughout the course of the 2019 season and Chicago is kicking it off! ------------------------- IMPORTANT NOTE: In addition to registering with us, you must also RSVP for the event at: https://nflhuddleuptoplayitforward.splashthat.com/ ------------------------- Check-in and a light lunch are from 12:30-1:00pm Event runs from 1:00-3:00pm Upon arrival, all volunteers should meet at the Fieldhouse (1401 S.
