COMMUNITY TAILGATES
As an extension of the We Stand For campaign, participating players hosted non-profits serving the Nashville community at nine of the 10 Titans home games this season. Each player was actively involved with the non-profit group he selected to host. The team provided tickets and a private tailgate, including pregame field passes. Each non-profit and community group invited children and parents from the communities they serve to participate.
GRANT REVEAL LUNCHEON
WE STAND FOR SUPPORTING CAUSES, CHARITIES IMPORTANT TO ENTIRE ORGANIZATION
We Stand For supports causes and charities that are important to our players, coaches and front office. Our hope is to foster positive dialogue around the community work of our players and executives and raise awareness for the associated causes. In addition, the Club will match the charitable contributions of our players up to $250,000. As part of the campaign, participants share testimonials in written pieces and in videos, providing a unique perspective on their lives, dating back to their childhood experiences, and share how they want to make a difference in the community.

The grants ranged from $25,000 to $100,000 and supported organizations in the spaces of education, African American history and culture, social justice, diversionary and re-entry programs, immigrant outreach and domestic violence and sexual assault awareness and prevention.
