In 2005, Dunn was presented with the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, the only NFL award that recognizes a player for his community service, as well as, for his excellence on the field. He finished with nearly 11,000 rushing yards playing for the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Dunn established the Homes for the Holidays (HFTH) program in 1997 and started Warrick Dunn Charities, Inc. (WDC) in 2002 as a way to grow programs and services. The HFTH program awards single parent families achieving first-time homeownership with down-payment assistance and fully furnished homes. HFTH recipient families are chosen through a partnership with affordable housing providers such as Habitat for Humanity affiliates. Additional WDC programming also provides financial education, combats food-insecurity and addresses nutrition and wellness challenges among low to moderate income families.
