AboutRPA: Our legends of professional football often go unrecognized after leaving the playing field – both in terms of their contributions to America’s greatest game, and to the valuable charitable work they do behind the scenes. The RPA was created to provide support to these amazing individuals through multiple outlets. Chief among them being the provision of successful post football outlets through which they are afforded the same opportunity to shine in their post athletic career that they did while participating in sports. Additionally, we desire to shed light on these men and their social/charitable contributions, connecting them with fans across the country who appreciate their efforts and want to help support their causes. The RPA is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that was created to provide all forms of service, benefit and opportunity to the retired and retiring athlete. The RPA provides general information, transitionary outlets, business opportunities and general resources to the retired / retiring athlete. By building a strong platform through strategic alliances with like-minded business, industrial professionals and community leaders, the RPA is a center of guidance, support and opportunity to all retiring/retired players.
Mission Statement: The RPA is dedicated to providing national advocacy and support for retired/retiring football players, their families and the community at large.
