Founded by 7-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl Champion Darrelle Revis, the Darrelle Revis Foundation, a 501(C)(3) based in Plantation, Florida, is dedicated to the reversal of childhood malnourishment, and inspiring a commitment to daily exercise through service, mentorship, and education for impoverished students in urban communities across America. DRF’s pilot program Power Pak, provides healthy yet tasty foods and beverages that disadvantaged children can benefit from when at-home nourishment is scarce or school meal programs are unavailable. The Power Pak contains easy-to-prepare, nutritious foods, snacks, healthy beverages, and vitamins. The Pak breaks down into six healthy meals that give children all the nutrients and vitamins they need to function mentally and physically on an optimal level. Through alignment with local school districts, the food and beverages are stored in participating schools’ cafeterias. Leak proof, low density, zip-handle bags are then packed by school nutrition staff and volunteers. The Paks are discreetly distributed to eligible children on Fridays or before school breaks.
“We are always seeking alignments that provide DRF the opportunity to make an economic, social and environmental impact. We are excited to have New Age as our official beverage partner. With the support of New Age and the challenges that lie ahead, we feel confident through this partnership that we can change lives together.” – Darrelle Revis
