NEW YORK - EntSun -- The Coach Knapp Memorial Fund, named in memory of veteran NFL assistant coach Greg Knapp, dedicated to educating drivers on the dangers of distracted driving, reduce the number of distracted driving related deaths, and promote distracted driving awareness reform, today announced its return for a fifth season for this fall's "Coach Knapp Stair Climb." This coming weekend, the Green Bay Packers will take to Lambeau Field and will be joined by their opponents, the Arizona Cardinals, in a rare two team climb. Coach Knapp's legacy runs deep through both coaching staffs, having worked with Arizona head coach Mike LaFleur, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur, and several others on both staffs, including Cardinals quarterbacks coach Matt Schaub.

This year's initiative will have over 600 coaches, players and staff participating in various forms on game days. The fund was created by Greg's wife, Charlotte, and close friend and agent, the late Jeff Sperbeck, to honor the legacy of Greg Knapp who tragically passed away in July 2021 after being hit by a distracted driver while he was bicycling. Coach Knapp was known for climbing the stadium stairs before every single NFL game he coached over his 25 season career. All will be tagged #Knappstairclimb on social platforms. During the offseason, the Fund also continued its driver safety education programming during rookie transition sessions for the Los Angeles Rams, Washington Commanders and New York Jets.

In honor of Coach Knapp, NFL coaches, players, executives and alumni will participate in raising funds and awareness at each NFL stadium prior to team warm ups. Teams confirmed to participate in the Stair Climb this year include the Green Bay Packers, Arizona Cardinals, Seattle Seahawks, Las Vegas Raiders, Washington Commanders and San Francisco 49ers, along with collegiate programs including the University of Rhode Island and Sacramento State. Additional teams and programs are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
