We are on a global mission to empower our next generation of environmental leaders.
We educate and empower our youth to save and sustain the environment. We’ve developed sports programs and gaming tools that interact and teach young children and teens about environmental issues and what they can do to help save the planet. Our most popular program highlights our Gridiron Green Comic to educate kids and teens about the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

issues that disproportionately impact POC/low income communities
Ovie Mughelli realized through his own life experiences, and having two premature children, that there was a bigger issue, money, fame, and resources weren’t enough to change the air quality in his hometown, to bring his children safely out of the hospital.
This gave him the added drive to work harder to address these issues. This is the fuel behind the passion that motivates him to be a part of solution.
Closing the skills gap is also a priority (which is necessary if everybody’s part of the solution) which takes generating interest early among the youth.
In order to facilitate, we generate impact through combining innovative programming in sports, science & technology, and sustainability.

OUR IMPACT
OUR PROGRAMS
Gridiron Green Comic, Curriculum and Gamification
Environmental issues have become a growing concern for people around the globe. Some of which have contributed to wide-ranging environmental damages and has affected the health, ecological balance, and climatic conditions across the globe.
The lack of education and adoption of sustainable living, business, and industrial practices are leading to the depletion of Earth’s resources and minerals, as well as degradation of the environment.
With over 67% of sustainability jobs held nation-wide held by a majority of caucasian professionals, our Gridiron Green Curriculum & Gamification focuses on measuring retention of education, mastery of sustainability concepts, and is the next step to creating engagement of diverse young professionals to gain entrance into the field.
Bundling the curriculum with a gamification app allows us to capture and report metrics that will help employers with pre-employment assessments of knowledge in Sustainability & STEM.
Our Gridiron Green Comic Book Challenge is in support of our STEM focused comic book, that will not only help to engage thousands of youth across the nation, but will be built into lesson plans within the Gridiron Green Curriculum, projected to reach public schools in 2020 and piloting in a NYC public school district.
We hope you find inspiration in supporting this incredible program, and the children we serve.
The Green Tailgate will act as a party with fun environmental concepts throughout.
It will give attendees the opportunity to get ready to attend or host a viewing party for the “Big Game”.

Sporting events are becoming a single-use, throw-away nightmare. During the Super Bowl alone, fans generate more than 40 tons of garbage.
When you add in the tailgate and home viewing parties hosted around the country, the impact of this one day is a massive sea of garbage.
Now think about these same actions repeated at every sporting event by hundreds of millions of people each year.
We have to ability to change this outcome! Sporting events, tailgates and viewing parties don’t need to generate so much waste.
Watching sports and hanging out with friends, colleagues, and fans alike, can be an incredible opportunity to change our throw-away culture and show a better way of celebrating without all the waste.
Help us empower people to enjoy their favorite sports while taking concrete steps to be part of the solution rather than the problem.
