New York Giants legends Eli Manning and Tom Coughlin have dedicated themselves to helping families in need through both the Jay Fund Foundation and Tackle Kids Cancer.
That continued in July as the two-time Super Bowl-winning duo took 10 families on a grocery shopping spree to help ease their burden. It’s the second time Manning and Coughlin have teamed up for such a spree, the first coming in December of 2023.
Comparing Q1 2023 to Q1 2024, the Jay Fund Foundation says they have seen a 63% increase in requests for assistance with groceries.
To better help the families in need, Manning and Coughlin are auctioning off one-of-a-kind 100th-anniversary Giants jerseys, each one autographed by the legend who wore it. They are the only two such jerseys in existence, which would make for a unique collectible for any Big Blue fan.
The added bonus is that all proceeds will be split equally between the Jay Fund Foundation and Tackle Kids Cancer.
Following their recent shopping spree, Manning and Coughlin sat down with ABC to discuss how they continue teaming up to help families tackle pediatric cancer when they need it most. That segment will air on Thursday, July 11 at 7:30 p.m. EDT ahead of the ESPY Awards.
The jersey auction is currently live and fans are welcome to bid. Donations are also accepted.
Imagine walking into MetLife Stadium in Week 1 of the Giants’ 100th season wearing one of these unique jerseys? Talk about standing out in a crowd.
