Making news, but not a free agent

The Bengals PR department just released this note:

The Cincinnati Bengals and the National Football League Youth Football Fund are teaming up to contribute $250,000 to the Oak Hills Boosters, topping off a fundraising effort that now has raised nearly $800,000. The grant announced by the Bengals and the NFL Youth Football Fund will help to install a new synthetic playing surface and scoreboard at Dennis Betz Stadium, located on the campus at Oak Hills High School.

(There is a ceremony scheduled for 2 p.m. at the high school that features Bengals kicker Shayne Graham.)

"We are excited to be a part of such a wonderful project,” said Katie Blackburn, Bengals executive vice president. “Our ability to give back to the community and support youth football in this area will bring great results both for the student athletes at Oak Hills and the entire Green Township area.”
