“I am personally committed to prioritizing safety in sports for all of our students, including my own children,” stated Darell Mike, the tribe chairman. “We will be donating the latest football helmet technology, which is currently used by NFL and college teams. Our athletes deserve the same level of protection.”
The Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians will donate NFL-approved and used Riddell SpeedFlex helmets to football teams from Coachella Valley, Desert Mirage, and West Shores high schools.
The presentation of the new equipment will occur at 10 a.m. on Friday at the headquarters of the school district in Thermal. Notable attendees will include tribal leadership, Superintendent Luis R. Valentino, assistant superintendent, and athletic directors.
