On Juneteenth, we will host a matchday celebration honoring Black Excellence and highlighting barrier breakers and voices in the community. Local artist Kalin Devone is one of those voices, providing the creative inspiration for our celebration.
As we wrap up an exciting preseason for the Carolina Panthers, we want to thank our incredible team for their hard work, diligence and enthusiasm in bringing Training Camp to Charlotte for the first time ever. Thanks to the efforts of our staff and the unwavering support of the community, this year has truly been one to remember!
The David and Nicole Tepper Foundation and the Carolina Panthers teamed up to fill 35,000 backpacks with school supplies to help local kids in need gear up for the new school year at Classroom Central's 3rd Annual Backpack Build. Together, we’re making sure every student starts the year with the tools they need to succeed. For more: https://lnkd.in/e5BW6sbT

In celebration of Pride, we’re highlighting Jill Cole, Community Relations Manager at the Carolina Panthers. As the co-lead for PRIDE, our Employee Resource Group for LGBTQ+ staff members and allies, Jill embodies our organizational value of Inclusion. In her role, she emphasizes the importance of allyship to foster a welcoming work environment because we know we’re better together. Although Pride is celebrated in June, we strive to be supportive and mindful of the LGBTQ+ community throughout the year. “There’s a misunderstanding that you have to be a member of the LGBTQ+ community to be an ally but that’s not true,” she continued. “It’s about being a support system, a friend, an advocate and ultimately, a teammate.” #PrideMonth
