From NFL Intl: Since the founding of the franchise, the Thunder have taken an
active role in charitable efforts, community service and social activities,
including helping more than 10,000 children in 250 schools experience Flag

The
city government honored these activities, as Senator for Sports, Youth and
Education Klaus Boger (on the left in the photo) presented Thunder general
manager Michael Lang (on the right in the photo) the Berlin Senate Medal for
Extraordinary Achievements in Sports.
"We
honor Michael Lang and the Berlin Thunder for helping young children enjoy a new
sport and providing a great way to spend their time," said Senator Böger.
"American football is like life in that you have to move forward by working
hard and playing as a team. The Thunder are offering kids a way to learn
something about life, while also having a good time playing the sport."
The
Thunder have been an extremely successful addition to the Berlin sports scene
since joining the NFL Europe League in 1999, capturing consecutive championships
in 2001-2002.
"I am proud to accept this medal on behalf of our organization and the
entire NFL Europe grassroots program," Lang said. "It is an
honor to offer young people an opportunity to take part in such a fun,
constructive activity, and we know that through Flag Football we are
creating a new generation of football players and fans."
