(18 minutes)

The Darren Waller Foundation, established in 2020 by New York Giants tight end Darren Waller during his time with the Las Vegas Raiders, is a personal 501c3 nonprofit organization. The foundation's primary mission is to empower young individuals to steer clear of drug and alcohol addiction and provide support for them and their families throughout their recovery and treatment journey. Through its signature program, "Against The Wall," the foundation has granted professional recovery care to 52+ individuals struggling with addiction in Las Vegas. Additionally, Darren's Wall Talks have had a widespread impact, reaching thousands of lives both in Las Vegas and across the country. Darren's personal motivation, driven by his experiences with substance abuse, is to utilize his NFL platform to create a safe, affirming, accepting, and encouraging environment for young adults, ultimately leading to the prevention of substance misuse and addiction.
