Be a part of the change
In 2020, Doug Baldwin, Michael Bennett, and Cliff Avril came together to provide collective support for community-based organizations. In their post-NFL careers, each has created a business aimed at improving the lives of others in various ways, with a shared purpose in strengthening communities by changing systems, investing in solutions, advancing housing, and shaping thoughtful design. With Champions of Change, they are facilitating a philanthropic extension of their professional work, intended to support local organizations embedded within their community, offering services based on dignity, empowerment and multi-sector collaboration.
Benefiting Partners for 2026 will soon be announced.
