"One of the reasons we have to turn players away is because we don't have enough equipment," one application said. "In the near future, we will struggle to provide a helmet for the kids who want to represent their hometown on Friday nights," said another coach. "This would be that lifeline that would inspire us to keep going."
"We're proud to help provide brand new helmets to these schools and to help give high school teams the support and resources they need," said Ryan Fencl, football outreach specialist. "Ensuring that schools have all the equipment they need so their students can take the field safely is critical, and we know these helmets will aid in the continued, successful development of these schools' football programs."
The donation is part of Green Bay Packers Give Back and the Packers football outreach efforts, which promote and serve youth and high school football programs around Wisconsin. The gift was also made possible through a donation match by Xenith as part of their Community Give Back Program and their Buy a Helmet Give a Helmet Program.
Packers Give Back is the team's all-encompassing community outreach initiative that includes the Green Bay Packers Foundation, appearances made by players, alumni, coaches and staff, football outreach, cash and in-kind donations, Make-A-Wish visits, and community events. The annual overall charitable impact of Packers Give Back exceeds $9 million.
