Operation HOPE extends our deepest condolences to our longtime partner, the National Football League, in the wake of the heartbreaking and senseless tragedy that occurred at NFL headquarters in Midtown Manhattan.

We mourn the loss of innocent lives, including a heroic NYPD officer who gave his life in service, and we extend comfort and strength to the NFL employee who was injured. We recognize the profound emotional impact this moment has had not only on the NFL family, but across its broader network of partners, including our friends and colleagues at Blackstone and throughout the wider business and civic community.

As an organization committed to uplifting communities through dignity, equity, and economic empowerment, we stand shoulder to shoulder with the NFL and its leadership during this time of unimaginable grief. We also reaffirm our commitment to promoting wellness, safety, and support in every space we touch, because tragedies like this remind us of the urgent work still to be done.

To all those affected, please know that you are not alone. Operation HOPE stands with you, in empathy, in partnership, and in unwavering solidarity.
