A Special Thank You to Our Partners The City of Jacksonville welcomed the Jaguars franchise with open arms in 1995 when the NFL awarded Jacksonville an NFL team. From that moment, Jacksonville was changed forever; forever in a way that has built community, excitement and pride. The Jaguars Foundation was established and provided its first grants in March of 1995, well before the team played its very first game, knowing that we could serve as a force for positive change right away. Our mission to be a strong community partner that makes a positive impact through programs that inspire youth, enrich the lives of families and neighborhoods, invest in women’s health and serve our military and veteran community, still holds true 25 years later. The thousands of lives and neighborhoods impacted does not happen without our great partners. Thank you for your support over all of these years, for being such an important part of the Jaguars family and giving us the opportunity to share in the great Jacksonville story. Under the leadership of Jaguars team owner Shad Khan and team president Mark Lamp- ing, we are excited to continue this vision over the next 25 years, from downtown Jacksonville extending to all of the surround- ing communities. Thanks to all of our partners and our fans, we are creating a better Jacksonville together! Sincerely, Peter Racine Senior Vice President, Jaguars Foundation – Community Impact 25th SEASON EDITION
