Patriots’ punter Jake Bailey is stepping up to the challenge this football season with Kick 4 Kids!

Patriots‘ punter, Jake Bailey, is joining forces with a New England based organization, Seasons Corner Market, for this charity initiative. From now through the end of the football season, Kick 4 Kids will be raising money for Hasbro Children’s Hospital.

This charity event, created by Seasons Corner Market and Hasbro Children’s Hospital, has been done in partnership with local, professional football players since 2012. Since its inception 10 years ago, Kick 4 Kids has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to the children and families of Hasbro.

Being able to support his community is something Bailey is excited to do. For every punt he makes within the 20 yard line, he will donate $250 to Hasbro – in addition to all other donations. Anyone who donates will be entered to win a meet and greet and signed football by Jake. The winners will be drawn monthly.

In previous years, all-time leading scorer of the New England Patriots, Stephen Gostkowski, was the face of Kick 4 Kids. For every field goal he made during the regular season, Stephen made a donation to Hasbro Children’s Hospital, which Seasons Corner Market matched. During his time as the spokesperson, he helped raise over $100,000 for Hasbro.

Jake Bailey has proved to be a good face for the charity this year for what he does on and off the field. He averaged 48.7 yards per punt and led the league with an average of 45.6 yards through 16 games in 2021 – per Forbes. Going into the 2022 season, the punter signed a four-year contract with the Patriots for $13.5 million, which included a $6.5 million guarantee.

This charity means so much to the children and families of Hasbro. For anyone looking to support this cause, donations can be made inside of any Seasons Corner Market location or online at: www.hasbrokickforkids.com
