In addition to a portion of the proceeds going to the three
nonprofits, MetLife is also donating $30,000 to the New York City
Police Foundation’s Far Rockaway & Harlem Giants, marking the
second consecutive year it has supported the organization. Led by
the New York Police Department (NYPD) and New York City Department
of Education, and in collaboration with the New York Giants, the
New York City Police Foundation’s Far Rockaway & Harlem Giants
provides at-risk youth with opportunities to be mentored, receive
educational support and play flag football. MetLife’s donations to
the FDNY Foundation will support fire safety education, while
contributions to the Port Authority Police PBA Widow’s and
Children’s Fund will enhance bereavement benefits.
The co-branded Giants hats – available in three versions
representing the NYPD, FDNY and Port Authority Police Department –
can be purchased online at Shop.Giants.com and at multiple retail
locations in MetLife Stadium beginning October 29, when the New
York Giants host the New York Jets.
“New York Giants fans, who are passionate about supporting both
the team and first responders, have been coveting these special
hats for years, and we are thrilled to make them available to the
public for the first time,” said Michael Roberts, Chief Marketing
Officer at MetLife. “We are proud to partner with the Giants to
support this effort that helps raise funds for three very deserving
organizations and the communities they serve.”
New York Giants players, wide receiver Darius Slayton and kicker
Graham Gano, have been involved with the New York City Police
Foundation since 2020 and will serve as ambassadors.
“I am delighted to continue to support such a worthy cause,”
said New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton. “The funding
from MetLife will have a significant impact on the work we’re
already doing with the kids in Far Rockaway and Harlem.”
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano added: “I am excited to
continue my participation in this program. The New York City Police
Foundation’s Far Rockaway & Harlem Giants make a big difference
in our community by helping students realize their full
potential.”
