🙏🙏🙏

In ONE WEEK we play for something BIGGER than football…

Best Buddies, the world’s largest organization dedicated to ending the social, physical, and economic isolation experienced by people living with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), provides everything from integrated employment opportunities to family support and inclusive living programs for the more than 200 million people living with IDD worldwide.

In 2023, Dave Hausman of Big Dave’s Bagels & Deli teamed up with Kennett High School to bring Best Buddies New Hampshire to the Mount Washington Valley. Since then, the Kennett High School Chapter has welcomed nearly 100 students to the organization. Through the One-to-One Friendship Program, students with and without IDD have formed meaningful, lasting friendships. Thanks to the Leadership Development Program, students with and without IDD have learned what it takes to become leaders, public speakers, and advocates for diversity and inclusion.

This year, Kennett Football is proud to raise money for the Kennett chapter of this very worthy organization. Join us Saturday, October 17th for the first Kennett Cares Game which will feature a halftime Punt, Pass, and Kick Competition, along with even more exciting activities. Players are currently collecting pledges and will continue to do so through game day! Can’t make the game? Don’t know a player? Not to worry! Donations can be made right on our fundraising website at https://kennett-football-boosters.square.site/

As always, thank you for your continued support of Kennett Football!!

Our employee profiles have been a hit with you folks 🙏 We will continue with those in the weeks to follow. One of our newer team members is Ron. He has been a great addition to our baking team and made a beautiful platter this morning. We have officially closed our books for October catering orders as we are fully booked the next two weekends. We will be closing the last week of this month to allow our team some well deserved vacation.

There are some days when I have to step back and just admire the work of our staff.
They come in very early so we can deliver these beautiful platters for a morning after a wedding. Days like today I’m quite proud of both our shop and especially the people who make it happen. I wouldn’t trade our team for any in the world. 🙏
