Coach Duke Fergerson with help from his teammate Roger Staubach, hall of famer from the Dallas Cowboys looked to the NFL to help create the Harlem program. The NFL responded with a $10,000 grant from the NFL Youth Football Fund (YFF). The grant has enabled the team to purchase game uniforms, helmets and shoulder pads. The $150 million YFF was established by the NFL in collaboration with the NFL Players Association to promote positive youth development, while insuring the health and future of football at the grass roots level.
