PROGRAMS

THREE PROGRAMS.
ONE CAUSE.

Special Teams Foundation is building a game plan for success around three phases:
Performance Fundraising, Media, and Events.

Special Teams: Kicking For Kids™

Every special teams point scored = A pledge for a child's future

Special Teams: Kicking for Kids™ is a performance-based program that uses points scored by field goals, extra points, and kickoff and punt returns as a fundraising and awareness platform in support of the foundation's mission. Fans, players, and corporate partners pledge donations for each special teams point scored by their team. The more your team executes, the more the cause benefits. This model provides a direct incentive for donors to contribute to life-enhancing causes while celebrating their team's on-field success.
