Team Butkus is committed to promoting an appreciation of community and bringing people together through charitable activities.

Matt Butkus  - President 

The “second son of 51”, Matt Butkus, is actively involved in all charitable and cause marketing activities involving Dick Butkus, specifically playing an active role with The Butkus Foundation and Butkus Award. He conceived the I Play Clean™ campaign and was instrumental in expanding the Butkus Award® to three levels of play when the award was returned to the Butkus family in 2008. Butkus played football for USC, including the 1990 Rose Bowl win over Michigan. A sports enthusiast, he forges personal and lasting relationships with virtually all of the NFL, NCAA and prep athletes connected to Butkus activities.
