National Football Foundation

East Region
 
Enthusiasm for football has been a part of John Kulka’s life since the beginning. Providing the life-long values of teamwork, preparation, sportsmanship and leadership, football has been the cornerstone of a life dedicated to the game.
 
Kulka has been a member of the NFF Central Pennsylvania Chapter for 20 years serving as a board member, secretary and finally chapter president. Through Kulka’s efforts and a dedicated group of chapter members, the outpost, which was founded in 1997, has expanded the number of high school and collegiate players honored each year as well as the scholarships awarded to help high school seniors pursue their post high school education plans.
 
The chapter covers 96 high schools, honoring 52 players as well as 10 college scholar-athletes. The outpost currently awards $28,000 in scholarships, selecting 28 individuals who each receive $1,000. The chapter’s annual awards banquet is held each year at the Penn Stater on the Penn State campus.
