NFL TEAMING UP WITH LOCAL SCHOOLS AND RECREATION CENTERS FOR SUPER BOWL PROJECT TO HELP CHILDREN

COMMUNITY MEMBERS INVITED TO HELP AS “SUPER KIDS – SUPER SHARING”  COLLECTS BOOKS, SPORTS EQUIPMENT AND SCHOOL SUPPLIES

Local K-12 schools, specific recreation centers and YMCAs in Clark County are teaming up with the National Football League, the Las Vegas Raiders and the Las Vegas Super Bowl LVIII Host Committee for a Super Bowl project that puts books, sports equipment, school supplies and games into the hands of students in underserved communities. The Super Kids-Super Sharing initiative has been implemented in every Super Bowl host community for the past 24 years and has collected hundreds of thousands of items to help local youth in the Super Bowl host communities.

For this year’s Super Kids-Super Sharing project, many Clark County public and private schools are hosting Super Kids collections to gather donated items; many recreation centers are joining in the effort too. Local residents can help by dropping off new or very gently used books (for children of all ages), sports equipment, schools supplies and games (in very good condition) at the following locations:

“We are celebrating the 25th anniversary of Super Kids-Super Sharing this season,” says Susan Groh, Super Kids coordinator and associate director of NFL Green. “We are delighted to see so many schools and recreation centers joining in the effort to help local children.”

A Super Kids-Super Sharing event will be held on Thursday, Jan. 25, 2024 at the William U. Pearson Community Center. Coordinators and several students from each registered donating school will drop off and help sort the items they’ve collected, then enjoy interactive play activities provided by the Las Vegas Raiders. Donated items will then be shared locally with registered schools and organizations that work with children in underserved communities.

Super Kids-Super Sharing provides local students an opportunity to get involved in the Super Bowl excitement by donating lightly used or new items to help those in need. The program promotes NFL PLAY 60, the league’s youth health and wellness initiative, by sharing sports equipment among children in the community.
