The Carolina Panthers and Morris-Jenkins celebrated their fourth season of Kicks for Kids, benefiting Atrium Health Levine Children's Hospital on Wednesday! 

To commemorate the 2023 Kicks for Kids season, the Carolina Panthers and Morris-Jenkins, alongside Levine Children's Hospital, hosted an in-person celebration for patients, their families, and staff. For every Carolina Panthers field goal made during regular season home games this year, Morris-Jenkins donated $1,000 towards Kicks for Kids, for a total of $15,000. The Carolina Panthers raised an additional $7,500 in support of Kicks for Kids during their annual Fan Fest this year.

"Watching the games is even better knowing money is going to Levine Children's with every field goal we make at home during football season, said Jonathan Bancroft, Morris-Jenkins President and CEO. "Morris-Jenkins supports Levine Children's all year long and has for years and years. To take that support and tie it into our partnership with the Carolina Panthers and have even more fun with it is awesome."

The celebration included check presentations totaling $22,500 raised during this season's Kicks for Kids campaign presented by Morris-Jenkins President and CEO, Jonathan Bancroft, and Panthers Vice President of Corporate Partnerships, Dan O'Neill. The donations were accepted by Kellie McGregor, Assistant VP of Development for the Atrium Health Foundation.

Levine Children's Hospital patients, family members, and staff were able to spend their afternoon enjoying snacks and interactive activities alongside Carolina Panthers Punter, Johnny Hekker, Sir Purr and Morris-Jenkins team members! 

"My experience here was so special. Being able to interact with the patients, families and the staff. I am happy to be a part of an initiative that provides support to Levine Childrens Hospital," said Johnny Hekker, Punter of the Carolina Panthers. "It's something our Special Teams takes pride in [field goal performance], not only because we want to win but when we see the amount go up after a kick is made, you know exactly what it means."

Since the beginning of Morris-Jenkins' partnership with the Carolina Panthers, Kicks for Kids has supported Levine Children's Hospital and their continued excellence in providing the highest level of care for children in the community.
