New England Patriots Charitable Foundation

The New England Patriots annually select their High School Football Coaches of the Week throughout the course of the NFL season. These coaches are recognized for their dedication and success on and off the field while exemplifying leadership qualities to their athletes and those around them. They also each receive a grant on behalf of the Patriots to help fund their respective football programs and give back to their athletes. These coaches displayed are the well-deserving ten 2025 Patriots Coach of the Week winners and the Coach of the Year winner, Derek Almeida from Fairhaven High School.

In addition to participating in the kickoff celebration, the Patriots donated flag football equipment to support future programming and continued opportunities for girls to play the game throughout Maine.
