NFL Hall of Fame linebacker Andre Tippett, who presently holds the role of Executive Director of Community Affairs for the New England Patriots, had a meeting with the Red Raiders on Monday at Lowell High School. During the meeting, he presented a generous donation of $1,000 to the football program on behalf of the Kraft family and the New England Patriots Charitable Foundation. The acknowledgment pays homage to Coach Boyle's commitment to the development of the next generation.
"What the Lowell Red Raiders did Friday night was what high school football is all about: Heart, Preparation and Pride," Tippett said. "You can see a team that believed in each other and refused to quit. That kind of effort is hard to come by a true testament to the commitment and teamwork."
The visit and donation presentation will be showcased on the Patriots' weekly television program, "Patriots All Access." You can catch the episode on Friday night at 7 p.m. on WBZ-TV in Boston, and it will also be available for immediate viewing on Patriots.com. The acknowledgment and support underscore the Patriots' dedication to community engagement and the recognition of exceptional individuals, exemplified by Coach Boyle.
