All donations, regardless of size, are greatly appreciated and may be included in your check for the event. If your company offers a matching gift program, we would be happy to supply any support information you may need to include when applying for matching funds.

We look forward to seeing you on November 9th as we induct our 8th class of honorees into the Brooklyn Tech Football Hall of Fame. Please contact your teammates and come out and share your memories!
