A growing decline in funding for after-school athletics is threatening the continuation of many high school football programs. In an effort to alleviate the financial strain that high school football programs can present to school districts, the Ram Truck brand has stepped up to support local communities where it does business. Kicking off just in time for the 2013 football season, the brand has introduced the Ram Gridiron Challenge. The objective of this program is to raise money for football programs in need while creating a bond between the community and our local dealerships through fundraising efforts.
Taking place on Wednesday, October 16, 2013 from 3:00 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. the Burnsville High School football team will hold a Ram Gridiron Challenge along with Dodge of Burnsville Inc. to raise funds to support their team.
