Although THON has never partnered with the New York Jets before, this seems like a fitting first year to start since former Penn State starting quarterback Christian Hackenberg was drafted to the Jets last spring.
Sherlock said $10 of each $65 ticket will be credited to THON, but there won’t be any other activities promoting THON during the game. Hackenberg signed a $4.66 million contract with the Jets, so it’s only fair the franchise gives some of its fortune back to THON.
This isn’t THON’s first foray into partnerships with professional sports teams, as the organization recently announced a fundraiser with the Philadelphia Flyers. The Pittsburgh Pirates, Philadelphia Phillies, and Washington Nationals baseball teams a with THON to host annual fundraising games.
