Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is using on‑field success to help young athletes off it, expanding a foundation program that donates new cleats to school teams in Wisconsin and his hometown in California. The initiative links touchdowns to tangible community support and has already delivered thousands of pairs to K‑12 programs.
Love’s Hands of 10ve foundation launched the 10ve for Cleats program in 2024 and scaled it this season, promising a donated set of Nike cleats for every touchdown he throws or runs. The campaign has targeted teams across Wisconsin while adding recipients in Bakersfield, California, reflecting Love’s ties to both regions and his interest in giving back to places that shaped him.
The program’s reach has been notable. Last season’s total topped more than a thousand cleats distributed, and this year’s higher touchdown totals provided an opportunity to double that impact. Local schools have been invited to apply through a foundation portal, with winners chosen for January distribution and community visits scheduled when possible.
Beyond the charity itself, the initiative strengthens Love’s connection with the community while reinforcing a larger narrative about player philanthropy. The quarterback’s improvement and reliability on the field this season raised his profile, and he has parlayed that visibility into sustained support for youth sports, emphasizing access and opportunity for student‑athletes who might otherwise lack equipment.

Organizers say the program considers need and geographic spread, seeking teams that will benefit most from new gear and where the presence of a professional player can boost morale and attention. The cleat donations also aim to remove a basic barrier to participation, allowing coaches and families to allocate limited resources to other essentials.
Love’s season performance and playoff experience have kept him in the headlines, but his off‑field campaign is earning equal attention in local communities. The foundation’s work offers a model of how athletes can translate performance milestones into measurable community outcomes.
As the postseason approaches, Love’s efforts will continue to ripple through schools and youth leagues, leaving impressions that last longer than the regular season. The program shows how one player’s touchdowns can translate into broader opportunities for dozens of young athletes.
