NFL-AMERICAN UROLOGICAL ASSOCIATION FOUNDATION PROSTATE CANCER SCREENING
One in every six men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in his lifetime. While most men might know the stats of their favorite NFL player, they are likely unaware of other important statistics that could save their lives. That is why Pro Football Hall of Famer and prostate cancer survivor Mike Haynes, in conjunction with the NFL and the American Urological Association Foundation (AUA Foundation), are encouraging men across the country to “Know Your Stats” through a national prostate cancer awareness program. As part of the program, former NFL players will be screened for prostate cancer Thursday, February 2 and Friday, February 3 from 8:00 A.M.-1:00 P.M. at the IU Health Methodist Hospital Cardiac Catheterization Lab (1701 North Senate Boulevard). The free event is offered to current and former players only and is sponsored by the NFL Player Care Foundation through the AUA Foundation.
NFL-BOONE HEART INSTITUTE CARDIOVASCULAR SCREENING
Over the past several years, more than 2,300 NFL retired players have participated in cardiovascular screenings where they learn
specifically whether they are at high risk for heart attack and stroke. Former players can take part in a free cardiovascular
screening, including a comprehensive workup, during Super Bowl week as part of a program sponsored by the NFL Player
Care Foundation and implemented by the Boone Heart Institute. The screening will be held Thursday, February 2 and Friday,
February 3 from 8:00 A.M.-1:00 P.M. at the IU Health Methodist Hospital Cardiac Catheterization Lab (1701 North Senate
Boulevard). 
NFL YOUTH EDUCATION TOWN
NFL Charities donates $1 million annually as part of its Super Bowl Legacy Grant initiative to support underserved youngsters in Super Bowl host cities. For the last 18 years, NFL Charities has supported the construction of Youth Education Towns (YETs) in Super Bowl cities nationwide as a lasting legacy of the game. This year, NFL Charities contributed $1 million to fund the establishment of the Indianapolis YET. The new YET facility (725 Oriental Street) will be unveiled at a press conference on Thursday, February 2 at 11:00 A.M. Prior to the press conference, current and former NFL players who received NFL Charities grants and NFL Youth Football Fund grants within the past year will host an NFL Giving 13 youth football clinic in partnership with USA Football at 10:00 A.M. for local children at the Chase Near Eastside Legacy Center and YET. The clinic will be immediately followed at the same location by the press conference, featuring NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Colts owner Jim Irsay, Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard, Indianapolis Host Committee Chairman Mark Miles, Indianapolis Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Eugene White and NFL players. All events will take place at the new YET facility. The $1 million from NFL Charities was used to construct the YET portion of the Legacy Center building.
