On Wednesday, April 24th, Tuesday's Children kicked off Take Our Children to Work Day with the National Football League! Participants had the special opportunity to get a closer look into the inner-workings of the NFL. The day included learning about the NFL Rush Zone Series, traveling to Radio City Music Hall to see behind the scenes of the upcoming NFL Draft, and participating in the Play 60 Youth Football Festival which included football drills with some of the current NFL players and Hall of Fame members.

As one participant said, "It was a great experience to be exposed to a day behind the scenes of such an organization as the NFL."

A special thank you to the National Football League for hosting Tuesday's Children for our annual Take Our Children to Work Day program!
