Ted Karras, the Bengals' pivot up front, is turning leadership into philanthropy with The Cincy Hat Foundation. In collaboration with the Cincinnati Fire Department, a Cincinnati Fire Department Cincy Hat debuts in navy and red, with all proceeds going to The Cincinnati Fire Fighter Charitable Fund. The hat will even become an official CFD uniform piece during September, and pre-orders at The Cincy Hat site are $35, with delivery aimed by Sept 1.

The initiative sits among a broader, ongoing community mission. Since 2016, the foundation has raised more than 2.5 million in hat sales to support programs like full-ride UC TAP scholarships for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities, underscoring a culture of giving that extends beyond the gridiron.
