Military Appreciation Night

Every year the Penn Manor Football Team recognizes the many branches of the US Military. Family Members of the team highlight those they wish to recognize. Names are listed in the program the night of the game.  The student section wears red, white and blue.  The cheerleaders dress in colors as well. Support the USA and the Military by showing your colors at the first home football game.  Anyone wishing to recognize a military member in the football program may do so by emailing Jbrubaker@families4kids.org.

Coach To Cure MD

Coach To Cure MD is a partnership between the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), a professional organization for over 10,000 college football coaches and staff, and Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD), the largest national charity devoted exclusively to Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

In 2008 the AFCA adopted PPMD's Coach To Cure MD program as one of their charity efforts. One reason the AFCA was drawn to Coach To Cure MD was because of the unique parallels between Duchenne, a disorder which robs young men of precious muscle strength and college football, a game where young men are at the peak of their muscle strength.  The goals of Coach To Cure MD are simple: •Raise national awareness of the disorder •Raise money to fund research for a cure

Our approach to reaching these goals is also simple:

One football Saturday of each season AFCA coaches nationwide agree to promote Coach To Cure MD.By wearing armbands, mentioning Coach To Cure MD during on and off-field interviews, and in some instances doing even more extensive media relations around the date, coaches are rolling up their sleeves and proudly getting involved.

The Penn Manor Coaches and Team has been active in this event since 2017.  This event is held at a home game in September.

Comet Reading Club

The Penn Manor Football program wants to encourage young students to read. All students who read 300 pages from September 1, to September 28th will earn a free admission ticket to a home Penn Manor football game.

Teachers in the elementary schools will be passing out September calendars to log pages read.

Football players will also be visiting several classrooms to read to students. Look for a football player to visit your school in the near future.

So lets GET READY, GET STARTED, and GET READING!!!!

This is the second year in a row for this program. This years game for students to earn free entrance will be held for the last home football game.
