2023 Shop With A Colt

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 school has implemented PataSchool, an initiative of The Patachou Foundation that restores working kitchens in schools, hires and trains culinary staff and provides free, nutritious and scratch-made meals to 100 percent of the schools' student body.

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.

The Indianapolis Colts partnered with TeamSmile and the Delta Dental Foundation to provide free dental services including, cleanings, fillings, and extractions, to underserved children from the Indianapolis area at the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center headquarters.

The third annual Unified Flag Classic, sponsored by JD Sports and supported by Special Olympics Indiana and the IHSAA, offers high school students with and without intellectual disabilities the opportunity to compete together. This event, hosted at the Colts' practice facility, allows students to represent their school while enjoying a competitive experience and inclusive training and competition.

More than 150 volunteers from the Indianapolis Colts and local partners join together to build a new playground at Ernie Pyle Elementary School #90 in near Westside Indianapolis.

The Indianapolis Colts today announced a $1 million gift to support PataSchool, an initiative of The Patachou Foundation to transform school kitchens in Indianapolis into spaces where childhood hunger is met head-on with free, nutritious meals for every student during the school year and summer programs.
