Protect Lebanon Football Athletes with Guardian Caps

My name is Jason Gunn, and I have been coaching Lebanon Youth Football for 8+ years. In travel for games and scrimmages, I have seen Guardian Caps used by many schools for football, including some colleges, and now the NFL. https://guardiansports.com/guardian-caps/

The Guardian Cap is the leading soft shell helmet cover engineered for impact reduction. It brings a padded, soft-shell layer to the outside of the decades-old hard-shell helmet and reduces impact up to 33%. Physics say that an outer “soft” material of the proper density, stiffness, and energy-absorbing properties reduces the initial severity of the impact. The hard shell then has lower forces transmitted to it, and in turn, conveys lower forces to the interior soft helmet padding and then lower forces to the head. Very similar to a NASCAR driver and the soft wall technology that tracks have adopted or even automobiles and the soft bumpers and airbags that are now required. The Guardian Cap serves the same purpose for an athlete’s head—a soft shell barrier between it and impact.

*Addresses the impact severity of blows for athletes

*Pads blows to knees, hands, abdomen, etc. during position drills

*Protects helmet wear and tear

*Reduces radiant heat up to 20°

My goal is to raise enough money to support all of our football programs in the Lebanon, NH community. To do this, I need at least 120-150 caps. To do this, I have contacted Guardian Cap, and they have quoted me $6414 for 120 caps. This is a price of $53.45 each. These caps sell for $70-80 apiece to buy alone. These are reusable caps that will support our football athletes for many years.

The technology is here, why don't we add the extra protection to our athletes now. All of our players should have these, not just a few who purchase them themselves.
