Full bags. Cleaner streets. Tiger-sized possibilities.

Our Tigers hit the community armed with gloves, full-size trash bags, and a mission: clean up the town that shows up for them! Before cleanup day, each player gathers sponsors who pledge an amount for every full bag of trash that player collects. A coach or designated event supervisor verifies the bags, so sponsors know the work was completed.

And let’s be clear—these aren’t little grocery bags! Our Tigers will be filling full-size trash bags, putting in the time, and covering some ground. When the work is done, our neighborhoods, parks, and public spaces will show it. The whole town gets to see what happens when we put Tiger teamwork to work!

Let’s do a little Tiger math!

Imagine one player finds:

• Ten sponsors at $5 per bag = $50 per bag

• Ten sponsors at $10 per bag = $100 per bag

• Five sponsors at $20 per bag = $100 per bag

That’s $250 for every full, verified bag!

If that Tiger fills four bags, that’s $1,000 in pledges. A person who pledged $5 per bag would contribute $20 for those four bags. A person who pledged $10 would contribute $40.

Sponsors could be family, friends, neighbors, local businesses, or even that proud Tiger uncle living in another state! Some might give $5 per bag, while another supporter might be excited to pledge $20, $50, or even $100 per bag. Every pledge helps, and sponsors can agree to a maximum amount when they sign up.

Now let’s look at the team. We have 92 Tigers. If each player averaged $250 per bag and filled four verified bags, that would be:

92 players × $1,000 = $92,000 in pledges!

And if the team averaged $275 per bag per player, with four bags each? That example reaches $101,200 in pledges! The actual amount depends on sponsors, verified bags, and collected pledges—but it shows what could be possible when lots of people take part.

With trash bags donated, one major supply is covered. And what do we have to show for the day? A cleaner community, young people who earned their support through service, and a town that came together to make it happen.

WHO BENEFITS: Our neighborhoods, parks, public spaces, and football program. Sponsors see where their support goes, and the entire community gets to enjoy the cleanup.

WHAT OUR TIGERS LEARN: How to ask for support, make a commitment, follow through, and take pride in a job people can see. You don’t simply ask your community to stand behind you—you put in the work and give something back, too.

And if this grows into something even bigger? Wait until you see the vision at the end of this page!

Because sometimes, a neighbor needs a few extra PAWS.

A widow who has always cared for her home but now finds the yard a little harder to manage. A senior who can still tell you exactly how the job should be done, even if they could use help doing it. A person living with a disability who needs a hand with an outdoor task. These are our neighbors, and sometimes the hardest part is knowing who to ask for help.

Our Tigers Help Their Neighbors project begins with a running request list. A person can put their own name on the list, or someone can nominate a neighbor who could use assistance. When this activity opens, the list and information about how to submit a request will be available here.

Once projects are selected and approved, our Tigers will be divided into smaller teams, each with an assigned coach or staff member. The resident and the team will know the planned tasks before the visit. Depending on the project, our Tigers might rake leaves, gather fallen branches, pull weeds, sweep a porch or walkway, help tidy a yard, or take care of other manageable outdoor work.

The Tigers get to learn alongside the same role models who guide them on the field. Their coaches can show them how to approach the job, use their hands, work together, and take pride in leaving a place better than they found it.

And when the work is done, we hope to leave behind something special: a BRIGHT ORANGE porch light.

Think about the light by your front door. It welcomes people in, helps them find their way, and shines out toward the neighborhood. With the resident’s permission, our Tigers will replace that bulb with an orange one—a simple way to say:

Your Tigers have you. You are part of this team.

The idea doesn’t end when the yard is clean. As our players and coaches become familiar with the orange lights around town, we hope other neighbors will notice them, too. If a light goes out, it can be a reason to stop by, check in, and offer to replace the bulb. Maybe it’s only a burned-out bulb. Maybe it becomes the start of a conversation with someone who could use one.

That light is a reminder to pay attention to one another throughout the year—and that ONE TOWN. ONE TEAM. means more when we live it.

No fundraising. No payment accepted. Just our Tigers showing up for their neighbors.

WHO BENEFITS: Residents receive help with outdoor tasks and an opportunity to build connections with the people around them. Our Tigers and coaches get to know the neighbors who make this town home.

WHAT OUR TIGERS LEARN: Compassion, practical skills, respect, and the importance of showing up without expecting something in return. Strength can look like a team on a field—and it can look like a young person checking on a neighbor.

Little Cubs today. Tomorrow’s Tigers. Our legacy forever.

Remember what it felt like to look up to the big kids? Now imagine being a young football fan and getting to spend the day learning from the Tigers you cheer for on Friday nights!

Our current players help introduce younger children to football through supervised, age-appropriate activities, basic skills, teamwork exercises, and plenty of encouragement. Little Cubs can learn a new move, meet the players behind the jerseys, and start discovering what being part of a team feels like.

For our older Tigers, the experience is just as meaningful. A younger child may watch how they speak, how they handle a mistake, and how they treat someone who is still learning. That’s a chance to show that leadership starts long before you become a coach.

WHO BENEFITS: Young children gain confidence, positive role models, and a connection to Tiger Football. Families see their older student-athletes investing time in the next generation.

WHAT OUR TIGERS LEARN: Somebody is looking up to you. The way you encourage them today can be something they remember for years.

One day, those Little Cubs may be the Tigers reaching back to help the next group. That’s how a legacy grows!

Every business and organization has that list of jobs that needs doing but somehow never gets shorter. Maybe the entryway needs sweeping, the front windows could use some attention, files need moving, or the weeds around the building have started making themselves at home.

That’s where a little Tiger Power comes in!

Community partners pledge support for documented hours of approved service completed by our Tigers. Players are matched with appropriate tasks, and a coach or designated supervisor helps confirm the work and hours. Our young men and women show up ready to help, learn what the job requires, and get it done.

What could that look like?

Imagine a local business pledges $25 for each hour a Tiger works. That player spends four documented hours helping with agreed-upon tasks. The business receives four hours of help, and that Tiger has earned $100 in support for the program.

Now picture ten businesses each sponsoring four hours at that same rate. Together, that’s 40 hours of work completed and $1,000 in pledges. The rates, tasks, and hours can differ—this is simply an example of how a few hours and a willing community can add up.

A business gets help with the everyday work that keeps its doors welcoming. Our Tigers get an opportunity to practice being dependable, respectful, and ready to work. And their efforts help support their journey in athletics and beyond.

WHO BENEFITS: Local businesses and organizations receive useful assistance, while Tiger Football earns support through service.

WHAT OUR TIGERS LEARN: Their time and effort have value. Whether the job is in a stadium, an office, or a flower bed, people remember the person who showed up and gave it their best.

Those silly trees have done it again! The leaves have fallen, the piles keep growing, and for some of our neighbors, what used to be an afternoon of yard work has become a much bigger task.

Our Tigers will help approved seniors and community members who need assistance with seasonal leaf and yard cleanup. With an agreed plan and appropriate supervision, a group of Tigers can grab rakes and bags, clear what they can, and give a neighbor one less thing to worry about.

And because many hands make light work, what might have felt overwhelming to one person can become a team effort—with a lot of leaves, a little laughter, and a job well done.

WHO BENEFITS: Community members receive help with a physically demanding seasonal chore, and neighborhoods get a little Tiger care.

WHAT OUR TIGERS LEARN: When work needs doing and someone needs help, you can roll up your sleeves and be the reason their day gets easier.

Every Tiger comes from somewhere. This is our chance to care for the place—and the people—that helped us grow.

Working with approved conservation and community partners, our players will help plant trees and participate in local improvement projects. The work might mean getting hands dirty, preparing a space, planting something new, or helping a partner care for an area our community shares.

A tree planted today may still be standing long after these players have graduated. Years from now, a former Tiger might drive past it and remember the day their team helped put it in the ground.

WHO BENEFITS: Our community enjoys improvements today, and future generations inherit the results of work done by today’s Tigers.

WHAT OUR TIGERS LEARN: Some of the best things you build take time to grow. You don’t have to be the person who enjoys every benefit to know the work was worth doing.

Our four-legged neighbors need a team behind them, too!

Our Tigers will support local animal-services organizations by asking what they actually need and finding ways to help. That could mean collecting requested supplies, assisting with approved facility projects, or supporting another identified need under the organization’s guidance.

A bag of supplies or a few hours of help can support the people who care for animals every day—and give our players a chance to learn what that care involves.

WHO BENEFITS: Local animals and the people responsible for their care receive support that fits their needs.

WHAT OUR TIGERS LEARN: Responsibility and kindness extend to those who can’t speak up for themselves. Caring for your community includes all its paws!

Every child deserves a safe, comfortable place to lay their head at night. For some families, a bed can make a bigger difference than we might realize.

Under the supervision of an established community partner, our Tigers will help build or prepare beds for children and families in need. Players may have an opportunity to learn practical skills, follow directions, and work together on something that will become part of someone else’s home.

Imagine a Tiger looking at a finished bed and knowing that, because a group showed up and worked together, a child will have a place to sleep.

WHO BENEFITS: Children and families receive practical support, and our community partner gets extra hands for meaningful work.

WHAT OUR TIGERS LEARN: Their hands can do more than throw, catch, and block. They can help build something another person needs—and carry those skills and that understanding into the rest of their lives.

Find the Paw. Claim the Prize. Support the Pride!

Imagine the excitement building each time a card is revealed—and the whole community wondering where the TIGER PAW is hiding!

This proposed Tiger-themed variation of a progressive raffle would give participants a chance to purchase tickets. A ticket would be drawn, and the selected participant would have an opportunity to reveal the hidden Tiger Paw. The intended 50/50 structure would divide the eligible prize pool between the winning participant and Mountain Home Football, subject to an approved final structure and applicable Idaho requirements.

FKI would provide promotional and media support, while an eligible organization would be responsible for conducting the raffle. The organizer, rules, and prize structure must all be approved before the event can move forward.

WHO BENEFITS: If approved and conducted, a winning community participant could receive a prize while the football program gains support for equipment and other needs.

WHAT OUR TIGERS LEARN: Good ideas need good planning. Community participation, clear rules, and financial accountability all matter when an exciting event serves a larger purpose.

This is a proposed event only. No tickets will be sold or prizes claimed until the required approvals are in place.

Sometimes a toy is more than a toy. It can be a moment of excitement, something comforting to hold, or a reminder to a child that somebody was thinking about them.

Our Tigers will collect approved toys for a confirmed local receiving organization. Before the event, we’ll post the organization’s requested items and donation guidelines so families know exactly what is needed and what can be accepted.

Our players can help spread the word, gather donations, and prepare the collection for delivery. Every Tiger who takes part gets to see how a group of people doing something small can put together something meaningful for children and families in our community.

WHO BENEFITS: Children and families facing difficult circumstances receive gifts chosen with their needs in mind.

WHAT OUR TIGERS LEARN: Generosity starts by paying attention to someone else. You may never meet the child who receives a gift, but you can still be part of making their day brighter.

Idaho’s cold months have a way of reminding us how much a warm coat or hoodie matters. For a neighbor who doesn’t have one, that simple item can make the walk to school, the trip to work, or a cold morning much easier.

Our Tigers will organize a collection of coats, hoodies, and other cold-weather clothing for a confirmed receiving organization. We’ll share that organization’s requested items, sizes, and donation guidelines before the drive so our community knows what will be most helpful.

Players can help get the word out, gather items, and prepare the collection. A closet, a conversation, and a team willing to help can add up to a lot of warmth.

WHO BENEFITS: Local families and individuals receive clothing that helps them through colder weather.

WHAT OUR TIGERS LEARN: Helping begins with recognizing a need and doing something about it. A coat that feels ordinary to one person can mean a great deal to another.
