On Wednesday, the Seahawks wrapped up Day 2 of their three-day mandatory minicamp and readied themselves for a couple hours of giving back to the local Seattle community.

The Seahawks spent the afternoon divided amongst four different groups, to give their time and their service to Seahawks Legend Doug Baldwin's Family First community center, a local children's hospital, a veteran's affairs hospital, and the Ronald McDonald house.

"We're doing a community event this afternoon," head coach Mike Macdonald said after practice. "So that's why we moved today's practice until tomorrow morning. So, it'll be fun to get out and visit some folks and I'm proud of our guys for volunteering for it and it's going to be a lot of fun."

Since Macdonald became head coach, he has made efforts in making sure the team is connecting off the field, just as well as they are on the field.

"It's hard to bring 150 people to one spot," he said. "Shout-out to all of our ops people."

Two years ago, Macdonald and the entire team loaded up chartered buses and made a trip to Joint Base Lewis-McChord for team building and to learn more about the day-to-day operations on the base.

"I just want everyone to understand why we're here," Macdonald said in 2024. "First of all, pay our respects to the men and women at the tip of the spear for this country, protecting us on a daily basis with their lives and allow us to do this incredible job that we do day in and day out. Secondly, just to have some fun man, let's have some fellowship, everybody get to meet each other and sign some autographs. We want to understand what you guys do and get an understanding of what your day looks like. It's going to be an awesome day."

Last offseason, the Seahawks spent an offseason day at T-Mobile Park for batting practice. And just this week, the Seahawks had a team dinner, where rookies performed in a talent show.

Whether it be a day of fun or a day of giving their time to the community, Macdonald's main goal is aiming for that ultra-connected feeling that he and players say played a huge role in the team's ultimate Super Bowl LX win.

"We're looking for ways for guys to be together," Macdonald said. "We haven't really done one of these. I thought it was a great opportunity for us to get out there and go do our thing, serve our community. Guys are all about it. Really looking forward to it. It will be great."

The Seahawks practiced on the first day of minicamp on Tuesday, June 9 at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center.
