“This alliance with the NFL Alumni NY/NJ Chapter will help increase the public’s awareness of the great need that exists within our communities and help Give the Kids Hope Foundation bring our work to the next level,” said Schumacher-Tilton. “We are grateful to the players for their support of our mission and of the hundreds of kids who will ultimately benefit.” With her at the presentation were sons Ken Tilton (far left) and Stephen Tilton (right).
