Since 1973, United Way, the NFL and the New York Jets have had the most visible and longest-running charitable collaboration of its kind. Each year, thanks to community service projects and public service announcements, millions of Americans learn about United Way's vital work and the volunteer spirit of the NFL.
Combining their rich histories of active community involvement, United Way of New York City and the New York Jets have teamed up to drive home the importance of community involvement.
Our community outreach efforts include the Hometown Huddle, an annual hands-on volunteer project with players; the Gridiron Gala, New York City's premier charity event, and Tix for Kids, a charitable ticket program.
