ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – It was a touchdown for diversity on the Titletown football field Tuesday.
In partnership with Green Bay Packers outreach camp, NFL’s Play 60 initiative and Grit 920, about 150 youth and adults with disabilities participated in a fitness challenge.
Volunteers from local football teams and Packers players, Bo Melton, Zayne Anderson, Jacob Monk and Donovan Jennings, helped those with disabilities in various drills, such as relay races, kicking a football, throwing a pass, leaping for a catch, and diving for a touchdown.
Participants of Grit 920, a nonprofit specializing in inclusive, adaptive fitness, came from the Howard-Suamico, Pulaski and Bonduel school districts, as well as the Bridge the Gap and Aspiro Adult programs.
