About the Foundation

In the fall of 2022, the Grand Forks Central football program needed a new viewing screen for the camera Hi-Pod system that is used to film games. The coaches were told there was no money to replace the $300+ screen so they set out to fundraise. Three Central Football alumni saw the coach’s Facebook post and took care of purchasing the screen.

During the 2021 season, a local business donated $5,000 to Red River High School football and nothing to Central Football. On top of that, our school district does not have the funding to take care of these needs either. Our group decided to take the initiative to take care of things with our Central Football Alumni. By creating a foundation, our goal is to create something for the long term instead of just a quick fix.
