At Athlete Accolades, we believe sports have the power to unite communities and create meaningful change. This year, we were honored to serve as the official game ball sponsor for three high-profile NFL player-hosted charity softball games. These events brought together fans, professional athletes, and local organizations to raise funds for impactful causes—all while celebrating the game we love.
2025 Charity Softball Events Sponsored by Athlete Accolades
Micah Hyde Charity Softball Game – Buffalo, NY
On May 4, Micah Hyde, safety for the Buffalo Bills, hosted his 5th annual charity softball game at Sahlen Field. Over 16,000 fans attended the event, which featured more than 30 Bills players, including standout rookie Keon Coleman, who was named MVP (SI.com). Proceeds supported the Imagine for Youth Foundation, which provides educational resources and support to underserved youth. Funds also contributed to other teammate-led charitable initiatives in Western New York.
Jordan Love Charity Softball Game – Appleton, WI
On May 23, Jordan Love, quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, led the 25th Annual Green Bay Charity Softball Game at Fox Cities Stadium. The Packers’ offense edged out the defense 6–4 in a fan-filled evening. The home run derby was won by quarterback Taylor Elgersma, with participation from current and newly drafted Packers players. Proceeds benefited the Hands of 10ve Foundation, which supports youth sports programs and mental health education.
Isaiah Likely Softball Slam – Aberdeen, MD
On June 1, Isaiah Likely, tight end for the Baltimore Ravens, hosted his inaugural Softball Slam at Leidos Field at Ripken Stadium. Teammates including Keaton Mitchell, Charlie Kolar, and Tylan Wallace joined in the game, while long snapper Nick Moore took home the home run derby title (Baltimore Ravens coverage, SI.com). The event raised funds for Special Olympics Maryland, supporting athletes with intellectual disabilities.
Custom Gear for a Greater Cause
For each of these events, our Athlete Accolades Performance Series Softballs were designed and printed with full-color logos - with durability exceeding beyond the gameplay and also as perfect memorabilia for autographs and as commemorative gifts. These baseballs were a key part of the experience and a meaningful token for players and fans alike.
Looking Ahead
We’re grateful to Micah Hyde, Jordan Love, and Isaiah Likely for their leadership and community engagement. Special thanks also to Team Lammi for making these events a success!
At Athlete Accolades, we’re proud to support causes that align with our mission to personalize the game while making a difference. If you’re planning a charity tournament or NFL-affiliated event, we’d love to help you brighten it with custom products that are made to inspire.
