the professional tradespeople behind the DEWALT brand."

in the founding of DEWALT.
"We are excited to welcome DEWALT to the Giants game day during
our shared 100th anniversaries, and look forward to celebrating
DEWALT's important and impactful efforts to Grow the Trades," said

family-owned team since their inception. The Giants are the only
team in professional football to have won four championships in
four consecutive decades and have a long and proud history of
memorable players, moments and success.
During the Sunday game, Stanley Black & Decker CEO

tradespeople from the New York
City area, along with game captains for the opening coin
toss to honor tradespeople. This will be followed by an on-field
check presentation to fund essential vocational training and
