Community Tuesdays - "Salute To Service"
As part of the Colts' ongoing Salute to Service efforts, the team dedicated back-to-back Community Tuesdays to bringing together servicemembers and military families through football, creativity and connection.
Last week, the team hosted a Salute to Service Flag Football tournament, presented by Eleven Sports Media, with active servicemembers from the Air Force, Army, Marines and Navy at Colts headquarters at the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center.
Yesterday, Colts players, mascot Blue and Colts Cheer welcomed military families to Colts headquarters for an evening of sneaker painting, dinner and activities inspired by the NFL's My Cause My Cleats initiative. Artists from Kicasso Sneaker Art Bar, an Indianapolis-based sneaker art studio, led the painting experience, while nonprofit New Shoe Day provided new sneakers to the young family members in attendance.
