In 2022, Cincinnati Bengals center Ted Karras released The Cincy Hat and watched it take the fan base by storm. While the hats were stylish, the mission behind them made the cause that much easier to get behind.
Proceeds from the sale of the hats, shirts and other merchandise go directly to The Village of Merici, which helps provide adults with disabilities with independent living. The cause has helped countless individuals in Indiana obtain housing, be involved in a community and even helps them find employment.
After two years of growth in Indianapolis, Karras is now working with his business development group, Paradigm, to bring the same support to those in need near Cincinnati.
