Chris Canty: A Leader On And Off the Field


This blog is going to explore both sides of the NFL playing field. As a professional athlete, many players like Chris Canty, have a responsibility they must fulfill on the field, as a player, and off the field, as an educator.

As a TEAM NFL Player promoter at United Way and a member of TEAM CANTY, it is my job to promote Chris Canty’s educational volunteer goals and help him lower the high school drop out rate, and decrease the number of high school dropouts in half by 2018. Chris Canty — Super Bowl XLVI Winner, New York Giants’ Defensive Tackle—is a United Way TEAM Ambassador — who is passionate about his community service initiative and work with United Way.


United Way develops programs that makes a difference in the lives of others and has the power to get everyone involved, working together. You can help Chris Canty and I, achieve our goal of recruiting 1,000 volunteer readers, tutors and mentors, in an attempt to help United Way reduce the overall number of high school dropouts.

In addition to his work with United Way, Chris Canty has his own foundation, the Chris Canty Foundation (CCF). CCF is devoted to enhancing the overall development of youth in our communities. This organization uses sports to make a positive impact on children through mentoring, educational programming and engaging physical activities, while promoting health and wellbeing. #TEAMCANTY has the power to inspire, instruct and educate inside and outside the classroom—to help others have a good life.
