Love visited U.S. Venture in Appleton on Monday, March 17 to hand out close to 100 of the cleats to the nearby teams getting ready for spring sports, including Appleton West High School’s baseball team and Franklin Middle School’s softball and soccer teams.
“As you get into professional sports, you get so many cleats, and we can kind of take that for granted,” said Love. “To be able to give kids in Wisconsin new pairs of cleats is something that I think is really special.”
U.S. Venture CEO Eric Kessenich handed out cleats alongside Love and spoke to the teams.
“At U.S. Venture, we’ve been committed to supporting the communities where we live, work, and play for over 70 years,” Kessenich said. “Having the opportunity to partner with Jordan Love and the Hands of 10ve Foundation to ensure that young athletes across Wisconsin have the opportunity to pursue their passion for sports is something we’re been thrilled to be a part of.”
