The Wellness Weekend was a perfect reset! NFLPA/PAF did an amazing job providing us all an opportunity to relax and enjoy ourselves. The speakers were great and the NFLPA/PAF staff were fantastic. The food and drinks were amazing and the hotel was top notch! Will be attending this event from here on out! Thank you NFLPA/PAF, appreciate you all!

By Michael R for NFLPA | PAF Wellness Weekend on Nov 05, 2025

The whole staff at the PAF weekend in Baltimore was outstanding. The activities are always meaningful in helping my marriage and mental health. PAF is a great benefit for every NFL Alumni and spouse. Keep up the good work. George and Meg Lilja

Great event.

By chuck b for NFLPA | PAF Wellness Weekend on Oct 28, 2025

We had an outstanding time: met some new friends and enjoyed communicating with some older friends: The session was informative and also has the chance to bounce like ideas off of some older and younger couples. I would recommend it to others. The PAF really took care of us.

By Brian M for NFLPA | PAF Wellness Weekend on Oct 28, 2025

We had a great time. Wonderful people, delicious food and comfortable accommodation. Thank you for this fantastic experience!
