Colts Community Tuesdays
With the help of American Family Insurance, the Indianapolis Colts host the Colts School Uniform Blitz at Eastbrook Elementary School in northwest Indianapolis. Colts players will take more than 550 students on a "shopping experience" in the school gym, where kids will pick out their own outfit. Each student will receive a short-sleeve polo shirt, short-sleeve shirt, a fleece crewneck, pants, socks, fanny packs, pencil pouch, water bottle and a toiletry kit, helping eliminate school clothing as a barrier to students attending and staying in school.
To celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, the Indianapolis Colts and Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield invite local youth to participate in a special Hispanic Heritage Month Football Camp at the team's training facility. During this camp, the youth have the opportunity to meet Colts players, learn about the importance of staying active and participate in different football stations.
For the 15th year, the Colts will build a playground at a deserving local inner-city school in Indianapolis, Ind. This playground will provide a fun and safe play space for thousands of Indianapolis youth. The playground will be used by the school and will also be open to the public and community neighborhood throughout the year.
Each Thanksgiving season, the Colts host a Thanksgiving food giveaway at Lucas Oil Stadium for select families in need. With the help of presenting sponsor US Foods, the Colts' "Horseshoe Helpings: From Our Home to Yours" event provides 2,000 families with the "fixin's" for a Thanksgiving meal.
Each December, Colts players, cheerleaders and mascot Blue visit Peyton Manning Children's Hospital at Ascension St. Vincent and distribute gifts to patients. This annual Colts tradition has brought cheer to hundreds of children and their families over the years.
With the support of Meijer, underserved youth have the opportunity to Shop With A Colt to purchase toys, clothes and other items needed around holiday time.
