Detroit Lions Recycle Used Gear To Benefit High Schoolers
The Detroit Lions football team take on high school players with an arsenal of recycled gear.
Each year they donate x number of shoes, cleats and other used football equipment that otherwise would end up in a local landfill. But with the help of their community affairs coordinator Chad Walker they collect countless used gear by placing it in a HUGE box located centrally in their locker room.
When this box fills up, the recycled gear heads to Detroit area high schools and charities. Where countless boys and young men take advantage of the gently used equipment and cleats.
The Detroit Lions have been doing this for approximately seven years and as you can imagine – the goods go toward fulfilling the dreams of the next generation of players. Here’s hoping for another seven years.
