RICHMOND, VA (December 6, 2021) – A campaign from NFL Alumni Health, in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), aims to build COVID-19 vaccination confidence in metro areas around the country – including in Richmond, Virginia. NFL Alumni Richmond Chapter President and former Washington Football Team linebacker Dion Foxx and two-time world champion Washington Football Team wide receiver Gary Clark are among the more than 50 players lending their voices to the education and awareness campaign.

The initiative includes public service announcements, a campaign website, social media posts, and local events that collaborate with health care providers and public health organizations.
