Our NCFL 2024 Service Project is raising money to support the amazing work being done by Elyssa’s Mission®, a Chicagoland organization focused on suicide prevention and awareness.

 

Each year The NCFL partners with our local host to find a way to give back to the community that is welcoming us into their city for the Grand National Tournament. With thousands of tournament attendees each year, we have found that when we come together to do something to assist the local communities that welcome us, we can make a significant impact on people in need. We hope that all teams will find a way to participate in this endeavor and embrace our motto of “leadership through speech”. Every dollar makes a difference! Please help us raise money to support this remarkable organization.

 

The community-based organization was founded in 2006 in honor of Elyssa, a bright, gifted and outgoing Chicagoland girl who bravely battled post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. Elyssa’s Mission® provides hands-on support to area public and private schools in order to educate students, staff, parents and guardians on how to recognize and assist those teens most at-risk. We have helped educate over one million students, staff and parents since inception.
