Throughout the preseason, Jets fans can support the growth of girls flag football while entering for a chance to win exclusive Jets experiences and autographed memorabilia.
Fans who donate $100 will be entered for a chance to win a variety of exclusive prizes, including two (2) Coaches Club tickets and two (2) pregame field passes for the Jets' home opener against the Green Bay Packers, plus a meet-and-greet with LB Demario Davis. Additional experiences include two (2) Coaches Club tickets to the Jets-Bills game on Nov. 15 and a VIP gameday experience with the Jets radio team of Bob Wischusen and Anthony Becht. Fans can also win autographed footballs, jerseys and helmets from RB Breece Hall, WR Garrett Wilson, Demario Davis and other Jets stars.
Proceeds from the fundraiser will benefit the Jets Foundation EmpowHER initiative, which supports the continued growth and development of girls flag football throughout the region. The program helps create opportunities for young athletes through leagues, clinics, camps, coaching development and educational programs.
Through Owner Woody Johnson's leadership and commitment, the Jets have become one of girls flag football's most significant advocates, helping grow the sport at the youth, high school and collegiate levels across the United States and abroad.
"We have 60 teams in Europe, just the New York Jets - 40 in the UK and 20 in Ireland," Johnson said. "Seeing this opportunity for young women to be able to participate in flag football is a great thing."
In May, he and the Jets celebrated a historic step for women's athletics in New Jersey when the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) voted to officially sanction girls flag football as a varsity high school sport statewide. Less than 24 hours before the announcement, the inaugural season of the Jets ECAC Women's Flag Football League concluded. The league was launched with a $1 million investment from the Betty Wold Foundation.
"The inaugural season of women's college flag football was absolutely incredible," Johnson said. "I think year two, college football for girls, I think we're up to 30 teams. I think it will keep exploding across the country."
The EmpowHER fundraiser runs through Aug. 28, when the Jets conclude the preseason against the Giants. A complete list of prizes, official rules and eligibility requirements can be found HERE. Fans interested in supporting the fundraiser can click the link below.
