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.

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.

In continuing its dedication to developing pathways for youth and flag sports, the Jaguars hosted nearly 700 athletes and coaches at "Bold Gold Games" on Saturday, March 30. The Olympic themed 5v5 flag football tournament hosted nine divisions of travel flag teams ranging from 9U to 18U teams of girls and boys/coed teams. 55 teams had the chance to compete at EverBank Stadium and Daily's Place Flex Field with champions receiving gold medals.
