Jordan Love, the quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, is making significant strides in his community through his Hands of 10ve Foundation. This initiative aims to provide essential sports equipment to children, encouraging their participation in athletics. Recently, Love orchestrated a memorable shopping experience at Dick’s Sporting Goods for eight young participants from the ‘Better Days Mentoring’ program. Accompanied by some teammates, Love surprised these kids with a generous budget of $300 each to purchase athletic gear. The event was not only heartwarming but also highlighted the importance of supporting youth in sports.
Beyond just athletic gear, Love’s efforts extend to providing essential items like winter coats to those in need. He expressed his enthusiasm about future projects, particularly a campaign focused on supplying cleats to young athletes. “I’m thrilled about our upcoming initiatives that aim to ensure kids have the right equipment, especially when they might not be able to afford it,” Love shared with Civic Media’s sports reporter. Last summer, he also organized his first youth football camp in Milwaukee, where over 600 children participated. Inspired by his own experiences attending camps hosted by NFL quarterbacks, Love hopes to inspire and support the next generation of athletes.
Love’s foundation is gearing up for its first major fundraising event: leading the annual Packers softball game on May 23, 2025. This event promises to be a significant milestone in his philanthropic journey. For Love, giving back is more than just an obligation; it’s a personal and fulfilling experience. By sharing his resources and time, he aspires to inspire future generations and make a lasting impact on their lives both on and off the field. His dedication underscores the power of sports in building character and fostering community spirit.
