BAPTIST HEALTH MD-ANDERSON CANCER CENTER
In 2017, the Jaguars made a $1 million con-
tribution, creating a $2.3 million endowment
in support of the new state-of-the-art Baptist
Health-MD Anderson Cancer Center locat-
ed in the heart of Jacksonville. This center
opened in July 2018 and is now the leader
in cancer treatment in the southeast. It is
a single destination for highly coordinated,
multidisciplinary cancer care for adults. The
Jaguars are proud to be part of a revolution-
ary medical center that provides so many in
need with advanced care.
JACKSONVILLE VETERANS RESOURCE AND
REINTEGRATION CENTER AT CITY HALL
The Jaguars deeply value and honor the
service and sacrifice provided by our nation’s
military. To better serve our area veterans,
the Jaguars Foundation made a $1 million
contribution in 2014 to fund the creation
of the Jacksonville Veterans Resource and
Reintegration Center at City Hall and gifted
a specially branded van to aid in the center’s
outreach services to local veterans.
In 2018, the center assisted more than 8,500
in northeast Florida in receiving $25.5 million
in new benefits.
FIRST COAST YMCA
As part of a 25-year partnership with the
YMCA, the Jacksonville Jaguars Foundation
recently donated $500,000 to the Winston
Family YMCA in Riverside as the sponsor of
the gymnasium. The 7,800-square-foot indoor
gymnasium includes a full basketball court,
two short courts and a volleyball court. The
Jaguars have also been long-term partners
of the Galimore Community Center and
Pool in St. Augustine, named after former
NFL player Willie Galimore. Since 1995, the
Jaguars Foundation has donated $833,925 to
First Coast YMCA.
NFL/LISC COMMUNITY FOOTBALL FIELDS
Through a partnership with the NFL,
LISC-Jacksonville, local city and county
governments, nonprofit organizations and
youth football associations, the Jaguars have
committed to refurbishing and constructing
safe and serviceable community football
fields throughout northeast Florida. With a
total investment of $2.4 million, with a more
than $1,000,000 investment coming from
the NFL, we are proud to have completed 14
fields with many more to come in the future.
UNITED WAY OF NORTHEAST FLORIDA
BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS
As part of hosting Super Bowl XXXIX in 2005,
the NFL donated $1 million towards the NFL
YET project in Jacksonville. The donation was
matched locally by the Jaguars Foundation
and other partners at $2 million to construct
the Boys and Girls Club NFL YET Center
in the Brentwood community. NFL Youth
Education Towns (NFL YETs) are educational
and recreation centers positioned in troubled
neighborhoods in Super Bowl host cities as
the lasting legacies of the games. The
Jacksonville location has been up and
running for more than 10 years and serves
over 200 youth annually. Since the Jaguars
inaugural season, the Jaguars have donated
over $2.3 million to the Boys and Girls Clubs
of Northeast Florida and Nassau County.
JAGUARS COMMUNITY REPORT
Following hurricane Irma’s devastating
effects on the First Coast in 2017, owner Shad
Khan responded by donating $1 million to
United Way’s First Coast Relief Fund to assist
in regional recovery efforts. The United Way
of Northeast Florida and the Jaguars, along
with many other community partners, hosted
Hometown Huddle, a community-wide day
of service to help in the cleanup efforts. To
provide further relief to those affected by the
storm, Khan and the team donated
5,000 game tickets to first responders and
community members.
