This event uniquely brings together esteemed NFL Alumni, enterprise members, local businesses, organizations, and government agencies and introduces a gamified approach to networking, ensuring that it’s engaging, productive, and unforgettable, fostering a passion for community involvement and partnerships.

“The Huddle Up Challenge is not your average competition – it’s a unique opportunity to combine team-building, fun, and philanthropy. In addition to providing value to attendees, Huddle Up contributes to the greater good by raising funds for local community initiatives and charities supported by the NFL Alumni Chapter, says NFL Alumni Vegas Chapter President, Morton Greenwood. “At each event, we highlight businesses, have a featured Head Coach, honor an MVP and offer incredible prizes including: 2 tickets to the Vegas Golden Knights, Silver Knights and Las Vegas Desert Dogs, plus car and security service, and business and restaurant gift cards.”
