Austin Ekeler Foundation Donates New Gear to Inglewood High School Football Team
August 16th, 2023

The Austin Ekeler Foundation in collaboration with the Los Angeles Chargers, teamed up to provide new football gear to an Inglewood, California high school football team in need of new equipment for the upcoming season.
Located a mile and a half away from SoFi Stadium (the Chargers’ home field), Inglewood High School was identified by the Chargers as a football program in need of an upgrade to their equipment room this season. So, it was a no-brainer for the Austin Ekeler Foundation and the Chargers to get involved, and help out a team right in their own backyard.
“The Austin Ekeler Foundation’s mission is to implement resources into different communities to help them reach their full potential,” Austin commented. “We’re thankful to the Chargers and Xenith for helping us empower the youth in our community through the game we love, and reflecting our commitment to uplift our local teams swiftly and effectively.”
The Chargers hosted Inglewood High School at their Training Camp in Costa Mesa, CA where they received a visit from Austin Ekeler and their updated football gear - which included 45 brand new Xenith helmets, plus cleats and gloves for each member of the team.
About The Austin Ekeler Foundation
“I started a foundation to help people. Through the Austin Ekeler Foundation, I seek to help those that may find themselves in situations similar to mine growing up. I recognize that there are hardworking individuals with natural talents and an undeniable passion to better themselves, but may have limited financial resources, educational opportunities, exposure, or networking capabilities. My goal is to provide opportunities to those in need by bringing reusable resources to communities across the nation that can be utilized by a large number of people for many years to come. I will help people push for their passions in life and provide opportunities to turn those passions into a career when at times that can seem nearly impossible. That is the mission of the Austin Ekeler Foundation: to help create opportunities for people to fulfill their passions and ultimately their lives.”
