New York Jets players unveiled an outdoor PLAY 60 multi-purpose game court and played flag football with 30 children from Smalley School as part of the NFL’s 18th annual Hometown Huddle on Tuesday, an NFL-wide day of service with United Ways across the nation.
In partnership with United Way of Northern New Jersey, the New York Jets, NRG and NFL Foundation have contributed $75,000 to install similar courts at four schools for elementary and middle school students within the K-12 Bound Brook School District. In addition, Hollister Construction Services donated manpower to help install the courts. The specialized surfaces are safer alternatives to asphalt and are designed to be used for multiple sports.
