			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Giff and Wendy Nielsen have been married for 33 years. They have six children and nine grandchildren. They have lived in Houston for thirty years starting when the Houston Oilers drafted Giff in May 1978. He played quarterback for the team for six years before retiring in May 1984 to join the Channel 11 News anchor team.</p>
<p><a href="http://mormonchurch.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/temple-mormon.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-566" title="Mormon Temple" src="http://mormonchurch.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/temple-mormon-240x300.jpg" alt="Mormon Temple" width="240" height="300" /></a>The WON Heart Foundation, founded by the Nielsen <a class="internal_link_tool" href="http://www.familysearch.org/">family</a> has served the Houston community and the world.  The mission of this <a class="internal_link_tool_family" href="http://www.mormonolympians.org/mormon/families_mormonism.html">family</a> foundation is to find ways to make the world a stronger, safer, more peaceful place…one heart at a time. The Nielsen family firmly believes that there has never been a greater need for traditional family values and open- hearted generosity to help in healing a troubled world.  Some of The Won Heart Foundation successes include raising money to help bridge the gap of the latch-key kid revolution, and hosting a charity golf tournament, which has raised  nearly five million dollars for the past 21 years funding the building of Houston area parks and a YMCA after-school program.</p>
<p>Giff is on the executive board of the Boy Scouts of America, Sam Houston Area Council. He has been inducted into the BYU Hall of Fame, the Utah Hall of Fame and into the College Football Hall of Fame.</p>
<p>The most important career accomplishment either of them has is their family. The world needs strong <a class="internal_link_tool" href="http://www.mormonolympians.org/mormon/families_mormonism.html">families</a> with loving connections and a desire to reach out and share with communities.</p>
