New Christ Hospital Cincy Hat
Ted Karras, a true gentle giant. At six-foot-four and 310 lbs., the center for the Cincinnati Bengals is a fearsome beast of an opponent on the football field. Off the field, Karras tackles an issue near and dear to his heart: adults with developmental disabilities have a lack of continued education opportunities and limited options when it comes to inclusive living communities. Karras aims to shine the light on these community needs by bringing awareness and raising funds for organizations that are paving the way to meet the needs of adults with developmental disabilities.
Ted Karras’ foundation, The Cincy Hat, produces hats that are both stylish and do good. Sales proceeds are divvied up between two fabulous organizations- The Village of Mericici, an Indianapolis based living community, and also the University of Cincinnati’s Transition and Access Pathways program. Karras won the 2024 Walter Payton Man of the Year Charity Challenge, a fan voted recognition that proves both the Jungle and the nation sees and values Teds amazing initiatives.
“It is important to give back and help out where it’s needed.”
-Ted Karras
