Long was inspired to start a campaign after a visit in 2013 to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. He realized the lack of resources available for clean water.

"As athletes, we have a tremendous opportunity to use our platforms to make an immediate, surefire difference,” Long said, via the team website. “With football as its foundation, the Waterboys Initiative will grow yearly to help change the lives of millions of people in desperate need."
