Colts donate $55,218 to United Way of Central Indiana

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indianapolis Colts have donated $55,218 to United Way of Central Indiana – a gift of $1 for every ticket sold to the Dec. 22 game against the Tennessee Titans.  

"The Colts have been a wonderful partner with United Way for many years, and we are so appreciative of their support and generosity – and of this great gift," said Penny Keller, chief fundraising and engagement officer for United Way of Central Indiana. "It is partnerships like these that truly make an impact in our community." 

The Colts are longtime partners with United Way.  

During the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, the Colts and Indiana Pacers partnered with United Way and contributed funds that allowed Indianapolis community centers to remain open and serve clients. 

In 2023 and 2024, the Colts sponsored United Way’s Go All IN Day, an organized day of community service across the region. Last June, more than 1,600 volunteers helped over 80 nonprofits and community organizations complete projects on their to-do lists.  

Kalen Jackson, Colts vice chair and owner, serves as a member of United Way of Central Indiana’s Board of Directors.   

“The United Way of Central Indiana shares our goal of uniting and inspiring our community around efforts to make the Indianapolis region the best place to live, work and raise a family, and we’re proud to partner with them at this time of year and always,” said Jackson.
