I had the honor this past weekend to represent Astound Broadband at the 63rd Annual National Football Foundation-Lehigh Valley Chapter 2023 football scholar athletes awards ceremony held this year in Bethlehem, PA.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each year, the \u201cNFF\u201d helps college-bound student athletes who make outstanding contributions both on and off the football field.\u00a0 The awards are determined by organization members and local coaches and use a 40\/40\/20 percentage formula (for academic, athletic and charitable work, respectively). These awards are made available to every public, private and charter high school with a football program in the District XI region, which incorporates Lehigh, Northampton and Monroe counties.<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, financial awards are also granted for outstanding accomplishments made by local colleges within the district footprint.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had the privilege of announcing the games of, as well as speaking with, a number of this year\u2019s scholarship recipients and it was great to see so many young people\u2019s great efforts, in multiple ways, get rewarded at this year\u2019s event.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some of the images taken from this year\u2019s award ceremony presentation\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t
