What's Going On...
While our "Pick the Date" has concluded, our Nighthawk Football Players are ALWAYS raising money for their program. Our goal is to purchase guardian caps for our helmets to protect our boys from concussion. "The Guardian Cap is the leading soft shell helmet cover engineered for impact reduction. It brings a padded, soft-shell layer to the outside of the decades old hard-shell helmet and reduces impact up to 33%."
If you'd like to donate to our program, please email us at irhsfbboosterpres@gmail.com or message us on social media for more information. We are a 501(c)(3) organization, and your donation is tax deductible. Thank you for your support!
