New NFL and NCAA Schools Join The Lineup For Second Annual Coach Knapp Stair Climb Initiative
eTradeWire News/10745042
Expanded Program Includes Support From Green Bay Packers, Stanford University and Other Organizations; Goal Is To Eclipse The Year One Mark of over $100,000 For The Coach Knapp Memorial Fund To Educate Drivers On the Dangers of Distracted Driving
NEW YORK - eTradeWire -- The Coach Knapp Memorial Fund, named in honor of veteran NFL assistant coach Greg Knapp, today announced its expanded lineup of NFL and NCAA teams participating in this fall's "Knapp Stair Climb." Launched last fall, the initial project had seven NFL teams and close to 200 coaches, players and staff participating in various forms on game days, easily surpassing the goal of raising $100,000. In honor of Coach Knapp, NFL and NCAA coaches, players, executives and alumni will participate in raising funds and awareness for the dangers of distracted driving at each NFL or NCAA stadium prior to team warm ups.

"It's been very special to see so many people sign up for the Stair Climb to raise awareness for the dangers of distracted driving and to honor Greg's legacy. We are so grateful for the groundswell of support from across the NFL and at the college level," said Charlotte Knapp, co-founder of Knapp Memorial and Greg Knapp's widow.
The Coach Knapp Memorial Fund designated their first grant to SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions), which funded TextLess Live More events in high schools across the country. TextLess Live More utilizes evidence-informed strategies to reduce technology's prevalence in young people's lives – especially behind the wheel, reducing distracted driving rates and deaths. This year, teams will be able to choose which middle and high schools they want these events to take place to create a local impact in their communities.
This year's initiative will start even earlier in the season, with Head Coach Matt LaFleur leading the Green Bay Packers in taking to the steps of storied Lambeau Field on Sunday, September 24th.

In addition to the Packers, the New Orleans Saints, Atlanta Falcons, New York Jets, Dallas Cowboys, Los Angeles Rams, Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers, Denver Broncos, and Houston Texans, plus a growing number of NCAA colleges and universities from Division I to Division III have signed on to participate this fall. The initial NCAA list includes the football programs at Sacramento State, Stanford University, Fordham University, The University of Michigan, Caldwell University and Ripon College, with more schools joining on each week.
"Coach Knapp was a mentor and friend. I can only hope that the impact he made on me as a player, I can pay it forward to my athletes, added Bobby Fresques, Sac State Offensive Coordinator/Quarterback Coach and loyal friend."
