The Naples Browns Backers were formed in 1999 by a small group of Browns fans in Collier County.  In 2011 The Naples Browns Backers became Chapter 576 by officially listing with the Cleveland Browns and there has been no looking back.


During the football season, we meet at Pelican Larry's for Browns games. Proceeds from our raffles, 50/50 drawings, shirt sales and our annual golf outing are donated to causes that support our community. These included Avow Foundation, and more to come.
