In partnership with the Chevy Youth Football Program, Lydia Duke and Eley Duke of Duke Automotive recently presented a check for $500 for the Nansemond-Suffolk Academy football program.
In addition to the monetary support, nine sideline pennies, 12 kickoff tees, 12 field goal tees, 12 hand warmers, 12 wrist coaches, two large capacity duffels, 10 footballs, 300 helmet decals, 25 cinch sacks and 25 sports bottles were also donated.
Duke Automotive and the Duke family have been longtime supporters of NSA. Lydia Duke said that they are happy to “support all school activities that enrich the lives of the community.”
The Chevy Youth Football Program is a grassroots effort by Chevrolet dealerships across the country to support youth football leagues. The program provides an opportunity for the youth football programs to grow and for each dealership to build and foster a relationship with their local communities.
