Athletes For CARE (A4C) is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization that was founded by a group of professional athletes who have united together to raise awareness on issues such as addiction, chronic pain, access to alternative medicines, mental health, CTE, and traumatic brain injury.
These athletes have rejected opioids to treat their pain and depression and are exploring alternatives like CBD oils and other cannabis treatments. Now, some of these retired athletes are launching their own brands.Marvin Washington, for example, retired after 11 seasons in the NFL and launched ISOSportâ˘, a hemp-based line of high-performance productsâhemp water, protein powder, and cooling creamâdesigned to support the unique needs of professional and âprosumerâ athletes.
Greta Gaines, an internationally recognized pro-snowboarder and fly-fishing devotee, has launched The Hempery. It sells hemp-based cosmeceuticals for skin care, offering benefits that include moisturizing without clogging of skin pores. Anti-aging and anti-inflammatory benefits are also touted.
Selected 39th overall in the 2009 NFL draft, Eben Britton spent four years with the Jacksonville Jaguars followed by two with the Chicago Bears. He retired from the NFL with a laundry list of injuries including a dislocated shoulder (torn labrum), herniated discs, and sciatica, as well as a handful of concussions. Eben suffered unimaginable muscle, joint, and body pain as a result of enduring years of abusive injuries and then continuing to play with those injuries. Britton used cannabis as a preferred method of pain management during his football career and is now employing non-narcotic hemp extracts with his line, Be TruË Organicsâ˘. Started by Britton, along with Sean Entin and Julie Wilson, Be TruË Organics⢠nourishes mind, body, and soul with Gummy Chews, Oral Spray, and Pain Relief Cream.
