NYACK, NY – Super Bowl Champions, Devin & Jason McCourty of the New England Patriots are stepping in to address an urgent need in Rockland County, New York, purchasing $90,000 worth of Chromebooks for students who don’t have access to computers at home. The COVID-19 health crisis has closed schools across the country and hundreds of students in the East Ramapo and Nyack School districts are in need of chromebooks to be able to learn and continue their education online.

Even with this generous donation, there is still a need in the district and the McCourty Twins have partnered with the Rockland Community Foundation to set up a “Chromebooks for Kids” fund where people can donate money to buy more chromebooks for the rest of the students in need. You can donate directly by visiting McCourtyTwins.com

This issue hit home for Devin & Jason as they grew up in Rockland County, going to school in both districts. First attending Upper Nyack elementary school in Nyack and then later Chestnut Ridge middle school in East Ramapo.

“In the tough times that we’re in I believe supporting the students in Rockland will provide hope to the community and give the students a chance to be great,” said Devin. “It’s awesome to be able to support an area that helped make me who I am today.”

“What better way to give back than to help provide for the future, our youth”, added Jason. “My brother always said make sure blessings don’t stop with yourself, but that they flow through you. We believe this is an opportunity for us to use what we’ve been blessed with to help others!”

“It’s just amazing to see how Devin and Jason have not forgotten where they came from and look to help kids who need it most. “ – Spring Valley High School (East Ramapo School District) teacher and County Legislator Laurie Santulli

“While our schools are closed, the learning must continue,” said East Ramapo Central School District Superintendent Dr. Deborah Wortham. “Without question, our students will benefit directly from the generosity of the Chromebooks For Kids Fund. Now more than ever, children rely on technology to stay engaged with school. This effort will ensure our students have the digital resources needed to continue their education during this unprecedented time. We cannot thank Devin and Jason McCourty enough for investing in our community and in our schools.”
