Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is back at it — and Appleton is once again at the heart of his giving spirit. Love has kicked off the third year of his 10ve for Cleats campaign, bringing the community-focused initiative back to the Fox Cities for another season of generosity.

The annual campaign, which bears Love’s jersey number, is designed to help young athletes get the gear they need to play the sports they love. By collecting and donating cleats to kids in the community, the effort removes a common barrier that can keep youth from participating in organized sports.

Now in its third year, the campaign reflects a sustained commitment from Love to give back to the region that has embraced him since he joined the Packers. Returning year after year signals that this is more than a one-time gesture — it has become a genuine community tradition that local families can count on as the fall sports season gets underway.

Appleton and the surrounding Fox Valley communities have been a key part of the campaign’s reach, making it a local story as much as it is a sports story. For families who might otherwise struggle to afford proper athletic footwear, the initiative can make the difference between a child sitting on the sidelines and suiting up to play.

As youth soccer, football, and other fall sports ramp up across the area, the timing of Love’s campaign couldn’t be better. It’s a reminder that community support for young athletes extends well beyond the bleachers — and that one of the Fox Valley’s most recognizable sports figures is proud to play a role in keeping kids in the game.
