NFL star Rob Gronkowski made a surprise appearance during the Super Bowl broadcast to announce that the Swindon Storm, an amateur American football club in England, is the first recipient of a £2,000 Cash4Clubs grant. The grant, funded by Flutter UKI, will help the club purchase essential equipment for new players.
NFL legend Rob Gronkowski surprised the Swindon Storm , an amateur American football club based in the South-West of England, during the Super Bowl broadcast with an incredible announcement. While the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs battled it out on the field, Gronkowski interrupted the live coverage to deliver a special message to the Swindon Storm members who had gathered at a local sports bar.
'Gronk' personally congratulated the team, acknowledging their coach Andy Wilson's application for a Cash4Clubs grant funded by Flutter. He revealed that Swindon Storm was the first of 200 clubs across the UK and Ireland to receive a £2,000 grant this year, recognizing their efforts in promoting American football and keeping adults engaged in sports. The grant will be instrumental in providing essential pads and protective gear for new members, removing a significant financial barrier for aspiring American football players. Coach Andy Wilson expressed his and the team's overwhelming gratitude for the grant and the extraordinary way Gronkowski delivered the news. He emphasized the life-changing impact this funding could have on both existing and new members, allowing them to participate in the sport without worrying about the cost of equipment. The Cash4Clubs initiative, launched nearly 20 years ago, has seen Flutter UKI, the parent company of various betting and gaming platforms, invest nearly £6.5 million into grassroots clubs. Each year, the programme awards 200 grants worth £2,000, prioritizing support for clubs in disadvantaged areas.
