The head football coach/Athletic Director at Detroit Community High School in Detroit reached out to Handoff – Play It Forward looking for assistance with securing weight equipment to outfit his empty weight room. Coach Del Humphry told us that he has been coaching high school athletics at Detroit Community High School for 14 years and NEVER had a weight room. Handoff – Play It Forward contacted the local Planet Fitness Franchise group (Epic Fitness Group) serving southeast Michigan to see if they might have excess used weight equipment that could be donated to DCHS. Epic Fitness Group stepped up and donated cardio and strength training equipment to fully outfit this schools weight room. Now, boys’ and girls’ sports will have the necessary equipment to help them better compete and stave off injury through rigorous weight training.
