It initially began with 11
Corinthian regulars, however, by the time we were incorporated in May,
2004, we had over 90 members and growing at a rapid pace increasing our
membership to 255 members....And that was just our first year. In
addition, Roost #79 provides support and charitable contributions to
many Woodlawn residents with a special emphasis to the homeless, abused
adults and families who may be in need or have fallen on hard times.
Propose and
Objectives:
The purpose and objective of this organization is to maintain a
Non-Profit Corporation
focused on the uniting of its membership in fellowship and service
to the community at-large. Our focus will be on local charitable, and
educational scholarships, as well as those in need and other similar
non-profit purposes through the promotion of the game of professional
football. Any contributions; either material or monetary, shall be used

needy as recommended and agreed upon by its membership. This Roost
