Our Foundation Protects Your Kids™

The JD17 Foundation started as a promise David Diroll made to his son Jack on getting him a safer football helmet for the next season. Jack,  a 7th grader, obviously excited for himself asked what could be done for the rest of his team and league.  The journey begins with the formation of the JD17 Foundation℠ which aims to work directly with Equipment Manufacturers, Technology Providers, Youth Sports Organizations, Leagues, Schools, Research Organizations etc… to provide world class resources to young athletes, their parents and coaches. 

MISSION

We will contribute by bringing world class education, technology, equipment and training to young athletes in hope to reduce the risk of serious injury.

CORE VALUES

Trust: We will do what’s right for the individual and team.

Commitment: We will do everything to the best of our ability.

Caring: We show people we care.

Gratitude: We will express thankfulness for our blessings.

Giving: We will contribute to those individuals and organizations in need.
