The Green Bay Packers, in collaboration with Ticketmaster and Xenith, are offering Wisconsin high school football teams the opportunity to receive $7,500 worth of new helmets. Coaches and athletic directors can apply for this donation, which will benefit ten schools this spring. The helmets will be custom-made to match each school's colors.
Ticketmaster's support is crucial for this initiative, aiming to provide high school athletes with essential equipment. This helmet donation program is part of the Packers' broader efforts to support youth and high school football across Wisconsin.
Xenith also contributes through its Community Give Back Program and Buy a Helmet Give a Helmet Program. Last year saw over 100 applications from schools needing donated equipment due to budget constraints that often prioritize purchasing helmets over other necessities.
Ryan Fencl, the Packers' football outreach manager, stated: "We're proud to partner with Ticketmaster and Xenith to help provide brand new helmets to these schools and to help give high school teams the support and resources they need." He emphasized the importance of ensuring students have safe equipment for their development in football programs.
Packers Give Back is a comprehensive community outreach initiative by the team that includes various charitable activities. Annually, it contributes over $11 million through donations, events, and more.
