ATLANTA (CBS ATLANTA) -
Some little league football players get a major gift from their gridiron heroes.
PNC Bank donated $5,000 worth of new equipment and uniforms to the Metro Atlanta Youth Football League.
The donation was made possible through the company's sponsorship with USA Football and the Atlanta Falcons.
"I hope it excites them. This is great equipment. As I said, take a look at the equipment, it's great stuff. I've checked it out. It's got great padding in the helmets. Great shoulder pads," said PNC Bank Regional President Eddie Myers.
The Falcons have supported and strengthened local youth and high school football for decades.
