In a heartwarming gesture of support, NFL star Matthew Stafford and his wife, Kelly, have stepped up to help a community affected by recent adversity. The couple surprised students at Pasadena High School during their football banquet on a Wednesday night with a significant donation. The school, which faced the challenges of the Eaton Fire in January, received news that the Staffords would be donating 60 varsity team uniforms to the Pasadena High School football team.
The Pasadena High School varsity football team has much to celebrate, having secured the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Division 13 championship in 2024. The donation from the Staffords marks another highlight for the team and its supporters, offering a fresh start following the disruptive impact of the wildfire. The Eaton Fire, one of several that swept through the Los Angeles area earlier this year, had left its mark on the school and surrounding community.
Adding to the surprise, the Staffords announced they would also be donating 150 uniforms for five Pasadena Panthers youth football teams. The total gift of 210 uniforms aims to bolster the spirits and resources of young athletes in the area, ensuring that both high school and youth teams are well-equipped for future competitions.
Matthew Stafford and Kelly's presence at the football banquet was kept under wraps until they arrived, making their announcement all the more special for the students and faculty in attendance. Their involvement underscores the couple's commitment to supporting youth sports and community resilience.
The uniform donation serves as a beacon of hope and encouragement for the Pasadena High School community as they continue to rebuild and move forward after the fire. The Staffords' contribution is not only a practical gift but also a demonstration of solidarity with those who have faced challenging times.
