Cliff Avril is the former defensive end for the
Seattle Seahawks, newly retired after playing
ten seasons professionally. With a successful
football career and a Super Bowl win behind
him, Avril is now setting his sights on a greater
legacy.
A philanthropist and supercar connoisseur,
Cliff Avril keeps closely connected to his
Seattle community through mentorship within
the Seahawks organization, numerous charity
efforts, and of course, with the vehicles he
drives. Since starting the Cliff Avril Family
Foundation in 2014, he has been furthering
its mission to provide educational support
and opportunities to youth in his Seattle
community and in Haiti, where his parents
were born.
