NFL: Super Bowl LV Community Events to Make Positive Impact in Tampa Bay Region
Super Bowl Week activities include community projects made possible by NFL Foundation Super Bowl Legacy Grants and the Tampa Bay Super Bowl LV Host Committee, community greening projects, a Salute to Service event at MacDill Air Force Base, a virtual NFL PLAY 60 Kids Day and the announcement of the annual Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award presented by Nationwide winner. 

The NFL and Feeding Tampa Bay (FTB) partnered to create 'Huddle to Tackle Hunger," a Super Bowl LV initiative to combat food insecurity in the region, an issue that has been exacerbated by the pandemic. As a part of this program, the NFL Foundation made a $250,000 donation to FTB to both assist in supporting local restaurants that have been significantly affected by COVID-19 and provide meals to those that need it most. The program will run for 44 weeks following Super Bowl LV. In addition, the NFL and FTB have launched a volunteer sweepstakes for a chance to attend Super Bowl LV that closes February 3 and will host two volunteer events to encourage local residents to sign up to volunteer with FTB to help fight hunger within their community.
