Jets Community Relations Year In Review

2020 Community Relations Year In Review

This past year the New York Jets built upon our continued commitment to the community. While we could not give back in the traditional ways we have in the past, our team made it a priority to continue to support our partners in new and creative ways. 2020 was highlighted by the COVID pandemic and the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area was hit as hard as any region in our country. Loss of life, income and normalcy made it a year unlike any other. The New York Jets are dedicated to helping our community get through this rough time and return stability to everyday life. Here is the 2020 Jets in the Community Year in Review:
