The founder and owner of the Buffalo Bills has seen his name associated with a stadium, but on Thursday Ralph Wilson had a Detroit area Boys & Girls Club athletic field dedicated in his honor.
The dedication unveiled a new field for kids at the NFL-YET (Youth Education Town) Boys & Girls Club in Detroit.
"We are grateful for Mr. Wilson's support and that of our partners to provide kids with a healthy outlet for sports, fitness and competition," said Boys & Girls Club Southeastern Michigan President Len Krichko.
The dedication coincides with the national meeting of NFL/YET -Boys & Girls Clubs leadership. The NFL/YET Boys & Girls Club at the Dick and Sandy Dauch Campus is the newest and largest of 15 such centers nationwide, built with partial funding from the NFL in Super Bowl host cities.
