BRIEF: Shad Khan to serve on NFL Foundation

Dec 13, 2012 (The Florida Times-Union - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell named Wednesday Jaguars owner Shad Khan as one of seven board members to the newly formed National Football League Foundation.

The foundation will award more than $23 million in grants next year to support youth and high school football programs, health and safety efforts and community health programs.

"I'm flattered to be asked by Commissioner Goodell to be among the first to serve the NFL Foundation and naturally I'm proud to accept the invitation and get to work," Khan said in a statement. "I'm certain we will accomplish many good things through the NFL Foundation.

"We have an opportunity and obligation to make a difference in three key areas that I am personally passionate about ... our time to make a difference is now."
