Brian Dawkins was challenged by mental health struggles early in his career, and he could have easily been pulled down the wrong path. Instead, the guiding presence of his family, friends, and faith served as a constant beacon of light along his path to becoming one of the most feared competitors in the NFL and an exclusive member of the NFL Hall of Fame.

Passionate in his interest and desire to give back to as many as possible, Brian launched the Impact Foundation to provide inspiration, education, and resources to youth, families, and communities in need.
