Saving Grace Ministries has been granted $50,000 by the Buffalo Bills through the National Football League Foundation Grassroots Program to install a new playing field at the East Ferry Sports Complex. The site was previously occupied by the Humboldt YMCA.
The Buffalo Sabres Foundation and the True Community Development Corporation are also involved in the project.
The grant from the Bills, the NFL Foundation, and Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) is part of more than $3 million in field refurbishment awards allocated this year.
The NFL Foundation/LISC Grassroots Program, a partnership between the NFL Foundation and LISC, the nation’s leading community development support organization, has committed nearly $43 million to the program since 1998, supporting 322 projects nationwide.
