Tennessee TitansNashville, TN – As NFL teams across the country prepare for their regular season kickoff this weekend, fans have only a few days left to show their spirit in a unique way with the NFL’s Back to Football campaign. The nationwide Back to Football Friday celebration is slated to take place this Friday, September 9th.

The Tennessee Titans are encouraging fans of all ages to host their own Back to Football events for a chance at once in a lifetime prizes and a $10,000 grant for their school!

The NFL’s Back to Football Friday has two components, one for the office and the other for schools.  It’s a unique way for communities nationwide to show their excitement for the return of NFL football.  There’s only a few days left through Kickoff weekend (September 8th-12th) when fans can demonstrate their commitment to their favorite teams and excitement for the upcoming season by planning a unique Back to Football Friday event at school or in their workplace. 

Whether they’re planning a pep rally or wearing their favorite team jersey or shirt to school or work, fans can show their passion in any creative way on September 9th, and enter for the chance to win once-in-a-lifetime prizes from the NFL. 

School Contest

Schools can enter the Back to Football Friday contest by submitting photos of their Back to Football Friday event and answering a few brief essay questions for the chance to win a $10,000 NFL PLAY 60 grant for fitness equipment at their school and a visit from a Tennessee Titans player this fall. One school in each of the NFL markets and two nationwide winners will be awarded the grant and appearance, just by entering the contest.

In addition, schools can cheer on their favorite team, while supporting the health and wellness of children in their community. Designed to tackle childhood obesity, the NFL / Titans PLAY 60 program brings together the league’s long-standing commitment to health and fitness.  Schools need to log on to www.NFLRush.com for more information, contest rules and to register for the contest prior to hosting their event.
