All Pro Dad is the fatherhood program of Family First, a national nonprofit
organization based in Tampa, Florida. All Pro Dad features 43 NFL players,
coaches, and alumni who speak out on the importance of being a good father.
Launched in 1997 with the help of Tony Dungy, head coach of the Indianapolis
Colts, winners of Super Bowl XLI, All Pro Dad is an innovative program designed
to equip fathers with the moral and educational tools necessary to make them
better fathers and role models, and to build character in their children and
communities. The program offers practical fathering assistance—updated daily—
available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. All Pro Dad is structured around a
football theme. This approach is attractive to a large number of men due to
their interest in sports in general and professional football specifically.

Basket of Hope is a 501©3 non profit organization whose mission is to bring the
hope that comes from Jesus to children suffering from cancer or other serious
illness by the delivery of a Basket of Hope containing items to nourish them
physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
The Basket of Hope program believes that if we can encourage the parents of
these seriously ill children they serve as the most effective support for their
children. Therefore, we include inspirational books, Bibles, and journals for
them to remind them of God’s love for them and their children and that He will
be with them through this journey. Thanks to Tony’s generosity, we will be
providing his book, Quiet Strength, in all of the baskets across the country this
year. We feel this book will be an inspiring message of hope to parents as they
face an unknown future for their children. Tony and his wife, Lauren,
understand what it is like to have a child with a serious illness as well as the
fact that they have suffered the most difficult loss of a lifetime in the loss of
their son, James. Yet, they hold on to the eternal hope that we have
through Jesus.
Tony Dungy is the National Spokesperson for the Basket of Hope and
encourages other NFL players, coaches, and individuals to begin a Basket of
Hope program in their local Children’s Hospital. If you are interested in starting
a program in your area please visit our website at www.basketofhope.org and
contact us for more information. Tony has put together a short video explaining
the program. If you would like to view this video please click on the icon on the
front page of the Basket of Hope website.
 
Tony Dungy makes frequent trips to Riley Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis to
visit with the seriously ill children and bring them a Basket of Hope.
