Since September 11, 2001, Americans have come together as never before in our generation. We have banded together to overcome tremendous adversity. We have weathered direct attacks on our own soil, wars overseas, corporate scandals, layoffs, unemployment, plunging stock prices, droughts, fires, and the myriad of economic and physical disasters both great and small.

Now, we must come together once again to overcome our greatest challenge yet.....

Hundreds of NFL players in our very own nation are living at, just below, or in most cases far above the seven-figure salary level. As if that weren't bad enough, they could be deprived of their life-giving pay for several months, possibly longer, as a result of the upcoming strike situation. You can help!

For only $20,835 a month, about $694.50 a day (that's less than the cost of a large screen projection TV) you can help an average NFL player remain economically viable during his time of need. This contribution by no means solves the problem as it barely covers the annual minimum salary, but it's a start, and every little bit will help!

Although $700 may not seem like a lot of money to you, to your favorite football player it could mean the difference between spending the strike golfing in Florida or on a Mediterranean cruise.

For you, seven hundred dollars is nothing more than a month's rent, half a mortgage payment, two unemployment checks, or a month of medical insurance with COBRA. To a football player, $700 will partially replace his daily salary. Your commitment of less than $700 a day will enable your favorite player to buy that home entertainment center, trade in the year-old Porsche for a new Ferrari, or enjoy a weekend in Rio.

Won't you please help?
