Sakrete Teams with NFL to Sack Homelessness
Charlotte, N.C., August 27, 2007 – Sakrete will partner with six National Football League (NFL) teams this season for the second-annual Sakrete Sack Program.
The Carolina Panthers, New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers, San Diego Chargers, Seattle Seahawks and Atlanta Falcons will be the six participating teams. At the end of the regular season, the player with the most sacks from each participating team will have $5,000 donated in his name to HomeAid, a leading national non-profit provider of housing for the homeless. The overall league sack leader will have $10,000 donated in his name to HomeAid.
The Panthers, Giants and 49ers participated in last year’s inaugural Sakrete Sack Program, which raised $12,500 for charity.
“We are pleased to continue our relationship with these National Football League teams to help tackle homelessness,” said Johnsie Beck, president of Sakrete of North America, LLC. “Sakrete has a lot in common with NFL teams. We share the same values of giving back to the community, and we believe that Sakrete products offer the same level of professionalism as NFL players. This charitable program allows us to make a positive impact on both the local and national levels because the money goes directly into these teams’ communities.”
