Our Mission
To give hope and help to those that need it most.
The Butch Rolle “Caring For Kids” Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) was founded in 2013 by former NFL Tight End Butch Rolle. Butch played 8 seasons in the NFL, 2 with the Arizona Cardinals and 6 with the Buffalo Bills where he earned two SuperBowl rings. He also achieved the historical milestone of scoring the 1000th touchdown for the team. Additionally, Butch holds the NFL record for the most consecutive catches for touchdowns (14) earning him the nickname “Mr. Touchdown.”
The Foundation is an outgrowth of Butch's desire to give back and support efforts in transforming the lives of our children. The Foundation’s mission is to create and support programs that facilitate the personal growth and empowerment of South Florida’s youth in need by focusing on education and building bridges to a better quality of life.
