DOVER — Ten New York Jets players came to the Dover Middle School on Tuesday to help deliver fitness equipment and enjoy some time with the students.
The players helped unveil a Play 60 Fitness Zone with 35 children as part of the NFL's 17th annual "Hometown Huddle," an NFL day of service carried out in cooperation with United Way chapters across the nation.
The Jets, in a partnership with the United Way of Northern New Jersey and NFL Foundation, contributed $50,000 to install the equipment, said Laura Bruno, spokeswoman for the United Way.
The Zone involves five pieces of strength-training equipment that the players and students tested.
