The Warrick Dunn Foundation has changed its name to  -- the Warrick Dunn Family Foundation.

To some, it may not seem like much of a change.  According to a release about the name switch,  though, the change "reflects the renewed devotion and commitment to helping families that are helping themselves."

The foundation has also launched a new Web site -- www.wd-ff.org. The foundation provides opportunities for economically-disadvantaged single parents and children. To date, it's helped 97 singles parents in metro Atlanta, Baton Rouge, La., Tallahassee and Tampa, Fla. to become first-time homebuyers.

Dunn owns a minority stake in the Atlanta Falcons.
