A pair of past and present Bengals are teaming up to help out the Cincinnati community. Ted Karras and Sam Hubbard joined forces with their Cincy Hat organization and the Sam Hubbard Foundation to create a hat designed by Hubbard.
The Cincinnati Kid hat is available now, and all proceeds from the hats benefit The Sam Hubbard Foundation. Hubbard has been helping fight food insecurity in the region for years, highlighted by Hubbard's Cupboard, a space in schools where students access essential items to succeed throughout the day.
The hats are available here and being sold at Hubbard's Fowling Tournament on May 15th. Hubbard and Karras are partnering up as teammates for the event.
"I knew that the first official teammate Cincy Hat Collaboration had to be Sam," Karras said about the project. "Not only is he a good friend, but the impact that The Sam Hubbard Foundation is making in our city is pretty incredible. The Cincy Hat Foundation is honored to be a conduit for his mission as he furthers his Hubbard's Cupboard initiative right here in Cincinnati."
Hubbard is pumped to add this partnership as he focuses even more on the foundation in retirement.
The former defensive end hung up his cleats in March.
"I'm just so excited about this partnership and the potential for it to expand and make an even greater impact in the future," Hubbard said. "Ted and I are great friends. I have so much admiration and respect for The Cincy Hat and their mission. I think that teaming up to support their vision alongside our Hubbard's Cupboard program at The Sam Hubbard Foundation can make a long-lasting contribution in our community."
