Keynote Speaker | Danny Wuerffel
Danny Wuerffel is the Executive Director of Desire Street Ministries and the President of the Wuerffel Foundation. Following his football career, Danny felt called to serve those in under‐resourced neighborhoods, which continues to be his focus.
In 1996, Danny won the highly acclaimed Heisman Trophy, playing college football at the University of Florida, where he quarterbacked the Gators to four SEC Championships and UF’s first National Football Title. Wuerffel’s time at UF included setting 17 NCAA and UF records, winning the William V. Campbell Award for the nation’s top scholar athlete and graduating with high honors.
During his NFL years with the Saints, Danny volunteered after practice with Desire Street Ministries, serving in New Orleans’ Ninth Ward, a neighborhood ranked by HUD as one of the worst in the country. He felt so strongly about the pivotal role Desire Street plays in reshaping communities he became their Executive Director following his NFL career with the Packers, Bears and Redskins. Under Danny’s leadership, Desire Street expanded its reach to support leaders and ministries in under-resourced neighborhoods throughout the Southeast. Desire Street provides coaching, training, retreats and many other resources to the heroes leading change in neighborhoods that need the most support.
In 2020, the Wuerffel Foundation was created to inspire even greater service and unity in the world. By leveraging his experiences, relationships and brand, Danny works to honor and further develop community service leaders.
