In an effort to battle childhood hunger, Indianapolis Colts players joined alongside The Patachou Foundation to serve made-from-scratch meals to local kids at Adelante Schools at Emma Donnan School #72.

The Colts partnered with Pike High School's Bring Change To Mind chapter for a mental health meetup event. Players and cheerleaders talked with students, discussing the power of positivity, and participated in activities like writing encouraging postcards for someone in their life and creating advocacy bracelets with significant words or phrases.

The Indianapolis Colts hosted their third annual "Beyond the Sidelines," a fundraiser event benefiting Kicking the Stigma, an initiative dedicated to raising awareness about mental health disorders and combating the stigma surrounding them.

Proceeds from the event support Kicking The Stigma Action Grants, which provide vital funding to nonprofits and organizations, primarily in Indiana, that promote mental health awareness and offer essential services. To date, Kicking The Stigma has awarded $6.4 million in Action Grants to more than 60 community organizations, helping make a significant impact in the fight for mental health advocacy.
