chairman’s message
From Archie Manning
Dear Members & College Football Friends:
The National Football Foundation experienced another exceptionally successful year in implementing
our efforts of Building Leaders Through Football, culminating with another sold-out crowd gathering in
the Grand Ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City on Dec. 8, 2015, for the 58th NFF
Annual Awards Dinner. For the ninth consecutive year, we expanded into the adjacent room to accommodate the overflow demand to be part of this marquee event, and the honorees, featuring Dr.
Condoleezza Rice, the 66th U.S. Secretary of State, continue to represent a long list of our country’s
finest leaders who have taken our national stage.
What follows is a photo collection of those honored and those who paid tribute to the honorees by
attending the event that night, as well as photos from several other National Football Foundationrelated events surrounding the 2015 football season. We hope that looking through the magazine will
bring back happy memories for those who participated while inspiring others to attend in the future.
Mark your calendars for Dec. 6, 2016 and the 59th NFF Annual Awards Dinner, which promises to be better than ever.
Thank you for your support in 2015, and we look forward to further engaging you in our mission of
Building Leaders Through Football in 2016.
Respectfully,
Archie Manning
