PFFL Drew wiener memorial scholorship

After losing former PFFL Coach and Family member Drew Wiener in 2022, the Wiener Family along with former PFFL President Matt Kaufman (2020-2022) and board wanted to keep his name close to the league he loved by creating a scholorship in his name.   4 students (min) from PFFL who are either Juniors or Seniors in High School will be selected each season and will each be rewarded with a $1,000 scholorship they can use towards continuing their education.

Winners of the scholarshp must submit a video that is not limited to but must include:

  • What has playing for Parkland Flag Football done for them?
  • What have they done for Parkland Flag football and or the community to help the next group of kids coming up?
  • What lessons and memories will they take with them from Parkland Flag when they graduate?

Videos can be as long or as short as needed.  They can be creative, serious or funny.  They can have highlights, pictures or whatever you want to come up with.  It can be a full blown production or you just speaking into the camera phone, either way its the story that counts.  WInners will be selected and announced on the night of the Super Bowls.   

As we get closer to the end of each season, the League President will send out a formal email with full instructions and entry date deadlines.  

Contact the league for more information.

Parkland Flag Football 2022 Drew Wiener Scholorship Winners

12 Parkland Flag Football Players Receive Scholarship In Honor of Coach Drew Wiener

— By Matt Rothman on 11/7/22 - https://parklandtalk.com/12-parkland-flag-football-players-recieve-42759

Parkland’s Drew Wiener was a role model for all the players he had an opportunity to coach. In 2021, Wiener suddenly passed away; however, Parkland flag football will always recognize him for his work. In his honor, Parkland flag football is handing out $1,000 scholarships to 12 high school juniors and seniors.

Players submitted videos outlining what playing in the league meant to them, what life lessons they would take away to college, and what they would pass on to the kids younger than them who would be in the high school league in the future. After receiving some creative entries, 12 players were chosen. For the girls, those went to Morgan Goldman and Rebecca Stember.

“Both these girls were instrumental in building this age group and division from scratch,” said President Matt Kaufman. “We literally had no league until they became involved. They are not only sensational human beings but are exceptional athletes. Their videos were stellar.” Boys were Ty Stevens, Walker Greep, Tripp Davis, Ryan Newman, Zach Goldberg, Dylan Friedland, Cody Anger, Dyland Stettner, and Eli Goffstein

“Similar to the girls, they built this league a few years ago from scratch,” said Kaufman. “Now all the boys and girls playing will have access to a league when they reach high school age. It allows them to get together with their friends, stay healthy, and avoid trouble.”
