McDonald’s Super Bowl NFL Play Family Football Challenge
The NFL, together with Greater Atlanta McDonald’s owner/operators and the 100 Black Men of Atlanta, organized an incredible day of fun for local families in Atlanta at NFL Play. This event allowed families to meet NFL players, experience a full game day environment, and gave them a chance to win tickets to Super Bowl 53.
The event was attended by NFL players such as Shaquem and Shaquill Griffin (Seattle Seahawks), Eric Ebron (Indianapolis Colts), Mark Ingram (New Orleans Saints), and Mohammed Sanu (Atlanta Falcons). They interacted with the students and families, shared encouraging words, took photos, and answered questions.

Mark Ingram Foundation
Mark Ingram, despite his success on the football field, is most proud of his ability to give back off of it. He was born and raised in Flint, Michigan, and is committed to helping underserved communities. Mark and his family faced many challenges and hardships due to having a parent navigate the criminal justice system. These experiences left a long-lasting impression on Mark and inspired a lifetime dedication to helping youth and families facing similar challenges. This dedication led to the creation of the Mark Ingram Foundation, which aims to help people in need through various programs and volunteers.
