The Blue Ribbon Partners, founded in 2004, is now recognized as the Spirit of 12 Partners and embodies the team's commitment to the Pacific Northwest community and its fans.
At every home game, Pacific Northwest youth service organizations partner with The Paul G. Allen Family Foundation and Seahawks fans to raise funds for kids' programs. As Spirit of 12 Partners, members of community-based nonprofits distribute the Seahawks Gameday Magazine, keeping 100 percent of the proceeds which are then matched by The Paul G. Allen Family Foundation. In 2008, over $237,000 was raised in the Qwest Spirit of 12 Partners Program and more than $1.3 million in total funds since 2004.
The Paul G. Allen Family Foundation’s mission is to enrich lives and strengthen communities in the Pacific Northwest. Grants are awarded in the areas of arts and culture, community development and social change, economic relief, education and youth engagement, and science and technology.
