Robbins adopts resolution celebrating Robbins Eagles as they head to national championship
Summary
Mayor Darren E. Bryant announced the Robbins Eagles football team and cheerleaders will travel to Naples, Florida for a national championship—their first in 40 years—and the board adopted a resolution honoring the team and noted $13,000 was raised to support their trip.
Mayor Darren E. Bryant used his Nov. 28 report to recognize the Robbins Eagles football team and the cheerleaders for qualifying for a national championship in Naples, Florida—the first such trip in 40 years.
Mayor Darren E. Bryant said the community raised $13,000 to help the team and that local news outlets covered the celebration. The board read and adopted a formal resolution celebrating the Robbins Eagles (Resolution 11-28-23 A). Trustee Gregory N. Jackson moved and Trustee Thomas Harper Jr. seconded the resolution; Mayor Bryant read the resolution aloud before the board approved it in a unanimous roll-call vote with Trustees David R. Dyson, Ernest Maxey Jr., Thomas Harper Jr., Tiffany S. Robinson, Gregory N. Jackson and Michael Collier Sr. voting yes.
The minutes record the proclamation-style resolution and the board’s unanimous adoption. The record does not include further details about how the $13,000 will be disbursed or whether the village will provide additional logistical or financial support beyond the community fundraising noted by the mayor.
