About 1st Downs 4 Life
While longing for someone who had “made it” to come back and give some advice, to answer some important questions, Louis Murphy Jr., saw his mother consistently serve the community and generously show love to youth who, in many ways, did not have guidance in their lives.
Louis vowed to God, his late mother, Filomena Murphy, and himself, that WHEN he did make it, he would come back and lend a helping hand.
This is what 1st Downs 4 Life™ is all about, making sure the next generation has some tangible example and valuable instruction to help them get to the next level in their lives.
1st Downs 4 Life™ serves the community by:
- Breast Cancer family support events
- Youth and family outings
- Seasonal outreach programs
- Youth camps
- And more!
Partner with 1st Downs 4 Life today, and help us give back. With your help, we can make a difference.

What People Say About 1st Downs 4 Life
Louis was the best thing that could’ve happened to me and St. Petersburg. He inspired me to chase my dream and now we’re in the NFL together. It’s absolutely a dream come true.”
Having a role model from my own city and neighborhood, like Louis, gave kids like me a chance to develop skills that led me to where I am today.”
