Arik Armstead received the NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year award for his contributions to youth education. The Armstead Academic Project, established in 2019, aims to support students in Sacramento and the San Francisco Bay area, with recent expansions into Florida. The project's mission is to ensure all students, regardless of socioeconomic status, have access to essential resources. Over 516,000 youth have benefited, and Armstead has contributed more than $2 million, with additional community donations supporting the initiative.
This award represents the power of service, the responsibility to uplift others, and the impact we can create through education. This recognition is a testament to that work, but there's still so much more to do. I'm committed to using my platform to create real change - because the work doesn't stop here.
The project's mission is to provide students with the tools they need to succeed, stating: 'Every student, no matter their socioeconomic status, deserves direct access to the resources they need to thrive.' The project offers academic support to help students achieve their goals.
