One of the ways the NFL and Super Bowl XXXV will give back to the host city is through Rebuilding Together with Christmas in April. As the nation's largest volunteer home rehabilitation initiative, Christmas in April, which has been renamed Rebuilding Together, will kick off its 2001 campaign in Tampa at Super Bowl XXXV by rehabilitating three homes belonging to low-income homeowners in a West Tampa neighborhood. Current NFL players and members of the NFL Hall of Fame will join celebrities and other volunteers all day on Friday, Jan. 26 at the site. Chan Tagliabue will be available for interviews on Thursday, Jan. 25. Commissioner Tagliabue and his wife Chan have been involved with the organization since its inception in Washington, DC in 1983.
Volunteers are the force that causes good things to happen every day in our communities.
The impact that one person can have on society is contagious, and when joined with the action of others, it can make history. Through 2001, Rebuilding Together will rebuild 7,800 houses and non-profit facilities with the help of over 245,000 volunteers from 270 affiliates in all 50 states. Chan and Paul Tagliabue have been involved with Christmas in April since its inception in 1983. Rebuilding Together with Christmas in April 2000, NFL Enterprises, L.P.
