Many will recognize Warrick Dunn from his NFL career with the Buccaneers and Falcons. Since retiring in 2009, he has dedicated his life to philanthropy in honor of his mother, a single parent and police officer killed in the line of duty.
Dunn founded Homes for the Holidays in 1997 and Warrick Dunn Charities in 2002, partnering with Habitat for Humanity to help single parents achieve homeownership. In 2025, his organizations presented their 244th and 245th homes and expanded to include single fathers. Dunn also supports programs that promote financial literacy, fight food insecurity, and provide scholarships for students engaged in community service.
