About the event

November Luncheon - Featuring Derrick Johnson, Defend the Dream Foundation

DJ will share his journey from the NFL to transforming education and why businesses should care about investing in the next generation.

About this Event

Join us for an inspiring luncheon with Derrick “DJ” Johnson—UT football legend, former Kansas City Chiefs star, and founder of the Defend the Dream Foundation.

DJ will share why education matters for the business community, along with his own journey from the NFL to building a nonprofit that’s transforming school libraries and empowering students to dream bigger. Since 2012, Defend the Dream has donated more than 25,000 books, created vibrant “Discovery Dens” in schools, and invested deeply in expanding opportunities for kids—right here in Austin and beyond.

Come hear DJ’s story of leadership, community impact, and why supporting education is one of the smartest investments businesses can make.
