RENTON, Wash. – The Enumclaw School District will receive a $200,000 grant from the Seattle Seahawks, the NFL Youth Football Fund and Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) as part of the National Football League Grassroots Program, the team announced today.

The grant is part of $2.5 million in field refurbishment awards allocated this year. It will be used to install a new synthetic turf field at the Enumclaw Expo Center, which contains the primary football field for the Enumclaw Public School District.

The NFL Grassroots Program, a partnership between the NFL Youth Football Fund and LISC, has resulted in the construction or renovation of 225 football fields nationwide in the past 12 years. During that time, the NFL Youth Football Fund has granted more than $28 million to revitalize playing fields in underserved neighborhoods. Fields are newly built or significantly renovated, with improvements such as irrigation systems, lights, bleachers, scoreboards, goal posts and turf. Grassroots grants are issued once established funding thresholds are reached for each project.

“Congratulations to the Enumclaw School District for taking advantage of this program through the NFL,” said Seahawks Vice President of Community Outreach Mike Flood. “The new turf will provide a quality playing surface for the students and community for many years to come.”

LISC identifies local, nonprofit, neighborhood-based agencies which have an interest in building or refurbishing football fields in schools and parks in underserved neighborhoods. Through the program, the local agencies are provided with the necessary financing and technical assistance to improve the quality and safety of fields in their neighborhoods. The local agencies oversee the construction, maintenance and programming of the fields.

“Our focus at LISC is on building sustainable communities- good places to live, work, do business and raise families,” said Michael Rubinger, LISC president and CEO. “Developing recreational opportunities is a key part of that, and the NFL has been a committed partner in making it happen.”
