Key Areas
2019
of Impact
INVESTING IN OUR FUTURE LEADERS
At the Jaguars Foundation, we strongly believe in investing in our youth who will one day lead
our community. An education is the single most important tool we can give a child. Education
has the power to change lives, break cycles and empower communities. Through our Honor
Rows program, the Shad Khan and Harry Frisch Scholarship program and our partnership
with City Year, we focus on promoting the importance of hard work, discipline and good
character and offer scholarship opportunities to those who are exemplary in these areas.
THE IMPORTANCE OF PLAY SERVING OUR MILITARY AND VETERANS COMMUNITY
Introducing the benefits of exercise to young
kids is key to building healthy habits for their
future. This is becoming increasingly import-
ant as outdoor play competes with screen
time and childhood obesity is on the rise. NFL
Play 60 is now a program in 70 area schools
with the goal of encouraging kids to be active
for at least 60 minutes a day. The program
impacts more than 8,000 sixth-grade
students annually. The Jaguars are honored to play a part in
supporting the thousands of military and vet-
erans in our community through a significant
partnership with The City of Jacksonville
and the Jacksonville Veterans Resource and
Reintegration Center at City Hall. In 2014, the
Jaguars made a $1 million contribution over
a five-year period to help provide financial
assistance, employment opportunities, life
skills classes, health services, and transition-
al housing assistance, which impacts more
than 11,000 veterans annually.
ENRICHING THE LIVES OF FAMILIES
AND NEIGHBORHOODS
A strong family starts with a strong home.
Research shows that a strong home and
neighborhood provides the basis for better
education and health outcomes in children.
The Jaguars believe every family deserves
a place to call home and feel safe. With the
launch of the “One Team. One Home.” initia-
tive in partnership with TIAA Bank in 2018,
the Jaguars and TIAA Bank each agreed to
contribute $1 million over the next five years
to help build and repair 100 homes in north-
east Florida. To commemorate our 25th sea-
son in 2019, we are committed to completing
25 homes for 25 families.
WOMENS HEALTH
The Jaguars Foundation helps meet the
needs of women in our community by
supporting the work of organizations like
the DONNA Foundation to help fight breast
cancer, the Hubbard House to offer support
services to victims of domestic violence, and
Rethreaded, to employ and give renewed
hope to survivors of human trafficking.
25th SEASON EDITION
PROMOTING THE SPORT
Jaguars PREP was established in 2019 with
the vision of giving kids access to learning
the fundamentals of football using the NFL’s
top resources and support. Through youth
football camps, tournaments, flag football
and other programs under the Jaguars PREP
umbrella, the Jaguars bring the game of foot-
ball to thousands of fans in Jacksonville and
London in an effort to keep kids active and
healthy, while promoting proper technique,
teamwork and sportsmanship for players of
all ages and skill levels.
