The Spirit of 12 Partners for 2014 include Boys & Girls
Clubs Washington State Association, Camp Fire Snohomish, Girl Scouts of Western Washington, Treehouse and YMCA of
Greater Seattle.
"The Seattle Seahawks have some of the greatest fans in
football, and we are thrilled to make it easy for them to support
the Spirit of 12 partners," said Jim
Gaherity, President of Coinstar. "If every Seahawks fan
attending a home game this season donates 12
cents, that would provide another $60,000 to support community services provided by
the Spirit of 12 nonprofit organizations."
"We hope the "12s" will take advantage of this convenient
opportunity to support local, community-based nonprofits that
directly impact youth in our region," said Seahawks Vice President
of Community Relations Mike
Flood.
Each of these five non-profit partners has a designated
timeframe for consumers to make donations to their favorite
organization. Consumers can locate Coinstar kiosks accepting

About Spirit of 12 Partners
In the fall of 2004, the Seattle Seahawks Charitable Foundation
unveiled the Spirit of 12 Partners program, a collaboration
among Seattle youth service
organizations, the Seahawks, CenturyLink and The Paul G. Allen
Family Foundation. Under this program, community-based nonprofits
sell the Seahawks game day program during the team's home games.
Each partner keeps 100% of the proceeds, which is matched by The
Paul G. Allen Family Foundation. In 2013, more than
$365,000 was raised in the program
and more than $2.70 million in total
funds since 2004.
