MEMORANDUM

Posted: January 11, 2016 10:19 AM
From: Representative Rosita C. Youngblood and Rep. Stephen Kinsey
To: All House members
Subject: Resolution recognizing Philadelphia's Northwest Raiders for winning the 2015 Pop Warner Super Bowl and winning back-to-back national championships
 
In the near future, we will introduce a resolution recognizing Philadelphia’s Northwest Raiders Pop Warner football team for winning the 2015 Pop Warner National Super Bowl Championship, earning their second national title in as many years. The back-to-back Pop Warner national championships are an extremely rare feat, according to Pop Warner organization officials.

With a 34-19 victory over Baltimore, Maryland’s Old Town Gators on December 12, 2015, the Northwest Raiders, hailing from the Germantown area of Northwest Philadelphia, captured their second ever Pop Warner Super Bowl Championship since the program began back in 1971. The Super Bowl was held at Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL, and was nationally televised live on the ESPN family of sports networks.

For those who may not know, Pop Warner Little Scholars, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that provides youth football and cheer and dance programs in 42 states across the country, and is the only youth football program that requires participants to maintain academic standards in order to play. So, it is fitting to honor Philadelphia’s Northwest Raiders not only for their significant athletic accomplishment in winning the 2015 Pop Warner Super Bowl, but also for serving as young academic role models in our community.

Therefore, we hope you will join us in cosponsoring this resolution recognizing the accomplishments of Philadelphia’s Northwest Raiders Pop Warner football team.
