NPSFL
Each team does differ between all or mixed of the above. Players donate their time, effort and service to the various communities. All teams in the league make money that is given to their charity of choice. The NPSFL's goal and mission is to donate as much money as possible to various charities across the US via spirited play.
The NPSFL is not made up of millionaires and team owners. Each team is funded by the players and coaches. Also, no money is given to any team for travel expenses or to play. Every player fund-raises and needs to meet a certain dollar amount for each season. Teams sell merchandise, hold fundraisers, and sell tickets to each game to raise money for less fortunate.
The NPSFL is a part of Ronald McDonald House Charities. NPSFL's mission is to create, find, and support programs that directly improve the health and well being of children. In which they focus on the critical needs of children. They celebrate the diversity of the programs they offer and the staff, volunteers, and donors who make it all possible. Finally, operating with accountability and transparency.
They strive to be part of that change and part of the solution in improving the lives of children and their families by providing programs that strengthen families during their most difficult or challenging times. They extend our reach and impact by leveraging our 38 years of experience and strong relationships with local communities and people in the field to continually establish Chapters across the globe. They continually work to improve and expand our core programs, while also developing new services to address the unique needs of the communities they serve.

CPD ENFORCERS
The Chicago Police Department Enforcers are consisted of only swore officers of the law. Unlike many teams in the NPSFL which are consisted of Firemen, Policemen, Emergency Medical Technicians, Military, and Correction Officers. Each player on CPD raises their own money for the team and the various charities they contribute to.
CPD is a 501c3 charity and donate to the following charities: Chicago Police Memorial, Chicago Police Gold Star Families, Mercy Home for Boys and Girls; and many others. To donate click on any of the names of the charities and you will be sent directly to the website.
CPD held a toy drive on December 9th, 2012 at Lion's Head Pub. The Enforcers teamed up with the Chicago Police Chaplains unit. Guests were asked to bring in a brand new unwrapped toy at value of at least $15. It was a huge hit; and gifts were brought to the Mercy Home for boys and girls that following week.
The CPD Enforcers excel on and off the field. They were the 2011 Division II Champions. They went 5-1 on the entire season including 3-1 in the regular season. CPD defeated the Philadelphia Blue Flame 24-13 on the south side at Brother Rice HS. CPD went 3-1 last season; their only loss was to the CFD Blaze; their rivals.
First Responders Bowl
Every season CPD squares off against the rival Fire Dept in the First Responders Bowl. Each year the teams alternate being the home team. The Enforcers won the first two in 2010 and 2011.
The CFD Blaze have taken the last two games; which leaves the series 2-2. The game is more than a trophy; it is bragging rights for a full year; and a fantastic contest each year.
2013 Season
This season the Enforcers opened up on the road for their first two games of the season. First the traveled to Cleveland to take on the Warriors. The didn't have much trouble at all in their first game of the season. They only touchdown let up by CPD was on a fumble recovery returned for a TD. CPD eased through the game with a 26-7 win.
Chicago's second game was as easy as they set out to be the first team to travel to New York and defeat the NYPD's Finest. NYPD's defense was all over QB Vince Macias and flustered him enough to throw three interceptions; two returned for touchdowns. CPD was defeated by the Finest 31-7.
They then came home to take on Division II runner ups the Washington DC Generals in the Gold Star Memorial Bowl. CPD came out hungry following the loss in New York. CPD's offense and defense clicked for the entire game by combing for a total of 25 points! Mike Gaines had two interceptions including a pick six. The final score was Enforcers 25 Generals 6.
As I mentioned earlier CPD fell two weeks ago to rivaled CFD Blaze. This upcoming Sunday June 2nd, 2013 Inland Empire travels into Chicago. The game is set to kickoff at 2 PM at Lane Tech High School. Tickets are available for $10 from any Enforcer or game day at the gates. See everybody out there!
