On 9/04, the Jaguars celebrated the grand opening of The Corner at Debs Store in Jacksonville's Historic Eastside. This North Florida Goodwill initiative provides fresh, affordable food and career services through the GoodCareers Center. Originally serving the community since 1911, the Debs Store closed in 2011, leaving the neighborhood without a walkable grocer. The 2024 revival, supported by the Debs family, Goodwill, LIFT JAX, the City of Jacksonville, the Jaguars, Vystar and others, includes a new computer lab funded by the Jaguars Foundation.

From honorary captains to pre-game flag holding to in-game recognition, the Jaguars Foundation and Jaguars PREP put on a show for our local football athletes during August's Play Football Month. Student athletes from across Northeast Florida were highlighted and treated to unique behind-the-scenes experiences at both home preseason Jaguars games.

The Jaguars Foundation hosted 14 military families through T.A.P.S. at Jaguars Training Camp. Families were treated to a surprise meet-and-greet with Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson and General Manager Trent Baalke.

Members of The ROAR stopped by and Jaguars Legends Donovin Darius and Marcus Stroud signed footballs, high-fived kids and posed for photos. From educational support and casework to suicide loss prevention and grief counseling, T.A.P.S. is a national tragedy assistance program for survivors of America's fallen heroes.

To kick off Play Football Month, the Jaguars Foundation donated nearly 200 new helmets to area youth football programs. This included 30 helmets that were donated by Gatorade to Riverside High School on the Westside.

Jaguars Legend Lonnie Marts founded the non-profit organization as his passion for sports and youth ignited a desire to impact the next generation of athletes. The class provides an opportunity for young men of color from single-family homes to learn life skills that set them up for success on and off the field.

Special Olympics Florida 'Fantasy Camp' presented by Ticketmaster was a day filled with once-in-a-lifetime moments. Athletes began with a stadium tour that led to the official team locker room, where ROAR cheerleaders greeted them and showed them to personalized lockers with nameplates and game-day style jerseys. Jaguars GM Trent Baalke was onsite to welcome attendees and announced that they would each sign an exclusive one-day contract to become Jaguars players. That's not all - swipe through to see what other surprises the day provided.

The Jaguars partnered with the Florida Lottery to celebrate more than 350 local public high school athletes at the annual DCPS Gateway Conference Awards.
