Nationwide, more than 2.6 million homeowners live in deteriorating, physically inadequate homes that threaten their health and safety. And it’s happening in neighborhoods all across the nation, even those five miles away from State Farm Stadium, the site of Super Bowl LVII.
Recently, NFL Running Back Leonard Fournette teamed up with Rebuilding Together and Lowe’s on a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss the Kickoff to Rebuild initiative and how they are helping communities in need.

Rebuilding Together, a leading national nonprofit rebuilding communities in need, has partnered with Lowe’s, the Official Home Improvement Sponsor of the NFL, to provide essential home repairs for six families in Glendale’s beloved Ocotillo Rose neighborhood. Through Kickoff to Rebuild, a Super Bowl sanctioned event, the organization has helped repair more than 170 homes, engaged more than 5,000 volunteers and invested more than $5 million to communities in need.
This year’s event was led by the nonprofit’s local affiliate, Rebuilding Together Valley of the Sun, which has helped provide more than 500 Arizona families with safer community spaces and healthier homes over the past 30 years. As part of this project, volunteers repaired leaking roofs and ceilings, completed grab bar installations and window replacements, as well as beautified houses by painting and landscaping.
Additionally, the Boys & Girls Club of Metro Phoenix Swift Kids Branch – located in the heart of Glendale and home to 120 youth – received various repairs and upgrades to help keep the club an engaging place for over 120 youths.
