INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Indianapolis Colts are celebrating the start of the regular season with the return of Colts Community Tuesdays.

In collaboration with American Family Insurance, the team will host a Colts School Uniform Blitz at Eastbrook Elementary School in northwest Indianapolis on Tuesday, Sept. 9.

“We have all the items, but kids are going to get new uniforms, some Colts swag, and some really great items from American Family Insurance. Items that will help them have a good day at school and start that day off right and be able to learn,” Ande Sadtler, director of community impact for the Colts, said Tuesday.

Colts players guided over 550 Eastbrook students through a unique “shopping experience” in the school gym. Each student will be able to select their own outfit, including a short-sleeve polo shirt, a short-sleeve shirt, a fleece crewneck, pants, socks, a fanny pack, a pencil pouch, a water bottle, and a toiletry kit. The items are provided by the Colts and American Family Insurance.

The team says the goal of the school uniform blitz is to remove clothing as a reason that kids do not go to school and achieve success.

“This is something that is close to the Colts and what we are trying to do for the community,” Sadtler explained. “We don’t want anything to be a barrier for kids to come to school.”

The event will also feature a book fair where students can choose two Scholastic books at no cost.

According to the Colts website, “Using their only day off from practice, Colts players take time to give back to various non-profit organizations across Indiana. From school and hospital visits to beautification projects, Colts players, cheerleaders, staff and team mascot Blue take the time to volunteer and share joy with those in need.”

This event is not open to the public. All participating students were pre-selected.
