The LIC High School Football Program needs equipment for the 2017/2018 school year. A high school football program is very expensive to run, and NYC schools have trouble providing the necessary funds that it takes to run a successful program. To keep our football program growing, we need to fundraise and rely on the very generous donations of others. Game footballs are a necessity for any football team. These footballs will be of great help during our spring practices and for the passing tournaments that we enter during the summer. Helping us acquire these footballs will also allow us to purchase new helmets that we desperately need after many of our older helmets failed the reconditioning tests. The LIC Football program has been growing, and making a positive impact on these student's lives. Following this past season we were able to send 3 student-athletes to college by way of football. We are looking to increase that number every year with increased student participation. We are so grateful to anyone that is willing to help these kids out!
