During the 2024 season, the Indianapolis Colts have been highlighting various community initiatives at five high schools and are giving fans a chance to learn more, donate or get involved. Final stop: Salem High School on Friday October 18.
Thanks to the new turf field by Hellas Construction, the Colts have chosen Salem High School as their final destination!
At each stop, the Colts have brought interactive fan activities, including Colts inflatables, a rally towel giveaway, games, a chance to win Colts prizes and an appearance by Colts Cheerleaders, all beginning 90 minutes before kickoff.
To put the cherry on top, the Colts and tour partners will make a $1,000 donation to the home team's athletic department.
Be sure to come out to 700 N Harrison St early this Friday night to join in on the festivities before the 7 p.m. Salem vs. West Washington football game!
