The Football City Initiative
Playing the sport of football from a young age is vital to it's success in society, both recreationally and professionally. If Yellowknife Wraiths wide receiver Bailey Cook hadn't started playing when he was five years of age, there is essentially no chance he would be where he is today.
Unfortunately, for so many children in the United States and in the world, there is no opportunity to follow the same path. Many low-income cities and areas cannot afford adequate facilities and equipment to provide a safe football experience for the youth.
This is why Bailey Cook started the "Football City Initiative" which takes part of his salary and donates it to a different area each contract to provide these places with the resources necessary to have football startups and get the children involved. He believes this will lead to the continued growth of the sport, while taking steps to ensure safety, and gives a wonderful outlet to keep the children off the streets and out of trouble. With any luck, this project will be a success, and maybe some of the people affected will be in future NSFL draft classes. Bailey Cook and the campaign managers would like nothing more.
