The Patriots Charitable Foundation
announced $85,000 in grants to 14 local nonprofits in honor of
each Patriots Difference Maker named during the 2016 Celebrate
Volunteerism initiative.
As part of their commitment to
celebrating volunteers, the Foundation announced the
"Patriots Difference Maker of the Week" award, which
aimed to recognize one deserving volunteer who had gone above and
beyond to give back to their community. Patriots Chairman and CEO Robert
Kraft announced grants of $5,000 to 14 nonprofits in the name
of each of the Patriots Difference Makers of the Week selected
throughout the season.
"We know that the holidays are
a time for giving so it’s exciting to have the opportunity to
show our appreciation for these volunteers who generously give
their time to those in need throughout the year," said Kraft.
"This year’s Patriots Difference Makers are an incredibly
dedicated and selfless group of people that have shown a genuine
commitment to serving others. It was an honor to have met them and
to be able to offer our support to the causes that are so near and
dear to their hearts."
