The Cincinnati Bengals and NFL Charities announced a $200,000 grant to Clinton-Massie schools for a field renovation project. A community football field will be renovated to include a synthetic playing surface at Clinton-Massie High School in Clinton County thanks in part to the grant from the National Football League’s Grassroots program. The grants, awarded this year by the Cincinnati Bengals, NFL, NFL Players Association (NFLPA), and Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), are part of $2.5 million in field refurbishment awards allocated to community groups in 17 cities nationwide.
“We are excited about the opportunity to give back to a community that played a central role in our past and has been so supportive of our organization,” said Katie Blackburn, executive vice president, Cincinnati Bengals. “My father and I both have very fond memories of training camps in Wilmington and I can’t think of a more deserving area to benefit from this grant.”
