The First Down fund was founded in 2004 to help fund activities for kids and families in crisis and support health-related organizations, according to its website. It donates to several charities each year.
It also partnered with the Starkey Hearing Foundation to help underprivileged kids internationally receive hearing aids, Paradise Valley Lifestyle reported.
