Bengals QB Joe Burrow officially launches nonprofit foundation

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has officially announced his nonprofit organization.

The Joe Burrow Foundation will help families overcome food insecurity and childhood mental health issues in the states of Ohio and Louisiana.

“I believe that everyone has a responsibility to do good,” Burrow said. “This Foundation allows me and my family to give back. So many of you made generous contributions to support food insecurity in Athens County, Ohio following my 2019 Heisman Trophy speech. We will build on our efforts to tackle food insecurity by also finding ways to offer up support in Greater Cincinnati, other parts of Ohio, Baton Rouge and Louisiana. My mom, a lifetime educator, experiences firsthand the effect of mental health issues on children and their families. We want to make a difference here as well.”

Burrow will serve as president, with Robin Burrow as secretary and treasurer and Jimmy Burrow as vice president.

The foundation’s work falls right in line with Burrow’s long-held off-field goals. Earlier this summer, he became the brand ambassador for Kroger to help promote health initiatives for families. He also famously used his Heisman Trophy speech to help those suffering from food scarcity in the Athens, Ohio area, as one other prominent example.
