Cincinnati Bengals Center Ted Karras
Ted Karras models one of his Cincy Hats, which goes on sale tonight at 7 p.m. EST.
An act of friendship toward new teammates has turned into a full-fledged philanthropic endeavor for Cincinnati Bengals player Ted Karras. Fans and local media have quickly taken notice of Karras and other players wearing new "Cincy" hats in the locker room. Starting tonight at 7 p.m. EST, the hats are being made available to the public for the first time.
"The Cincy Hat" will be sold online, with the proceeds going to the Village of Merici in Indianapolis. The organization provides direct support services, learning opportunities, and independent living through partnerships with various developers. The Village of Merici currently supports more than 75 people throughout Indianapolis with a goal of self-reliance.
"The hats were originally a fun gift for my new teammates through a family friend's golf supply business," Karras says. "I figured everyone loves to get a piece of gear, and the response from my teammates, Bengal fans, and media members was extraordinary. The demand for the hats grew rapidly thanks to my teammates wearing them in interviews, and we decided to sell them, but it had to benefit Village of Merici."
Karras' involvement with Village of Merici is thanks to childhood friend Matt Renie. Karras and Renie were high school classmates at Cathedral High School in Indianapolis.
"Ted grew up as a family friend observing his friend's brother who has intellectual and developmental disabilities," says Colleen Renie, Executive Director of Village of Merici. "Ted also has a family member with autism. He saw the potential in individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their desire to live independently as they grew up."
There are currently three hats available, with a fourth in the works. The hats retail for $35 each, and customers can choose from black, orange or white. The fourth hat will be white with a black logo.
The funds will go to supporting the Village of Merici programs that teach and support individuals in independent living skills to enable them to be successful.
"I am so grateful that a fun gift and project has found a special purpose," Karras says. "It's a great hat with an awesome design that I hope can become the unofficial hat of the Bengals. The Village of Merici is a very special place that does so much good. Any way I can ever help their cause is a special opportunity for me."

No.3 Gin Unveils Miami Artist Collaboration With ARES Modena at Art Basel 2022
MIAMI - November 22, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
No.3 Gin, created by renowned London wine and spirit merchants Berry Bros. & Rudd, is pleased to announce a truly iconic collaboration with ARES Modena, Luxury Italian coachbuilder and Daniela Boo, Argentine artist at Art Basel 2022.
At the exclusive event on Nov. 28 at Art Basel 2022, Daniela Boo will paint front elements of the ARES S1 Coupe model (currently located in the ARES Modena studio in the Miami Design District), whilst a master mixologist will be on hand serving special drinks made with No.3 Gin throughout the night.
Daniela Boo, represented by BlackTower Gallery, has a history of painting iconic supercars, and has previously been selected by various automotive brands for unique artistic expressions, her creative work combining hyper realism and speed. A number of these aesthetic vehicles are on display in museums and private collections globally. Now it's Miami's turn to witness Daniela Boo's profound artistic abilities for the first time.
Since 2010, No.3 Gin has been the winner of the World's Best Gin four times and the first gin to win the Supreme Champion Spirit at the International Spirits Challenge naming it The Perfect Gin, featuring a special recipe of six botanicals created by the celebrated Berry Bros & Rudd. The collaborative event has been designed to feed into Miami's thirst to explore and discover the parallels between art and modern expression.
Commenting on the collaboration, Edrington's No.3 Gin said: 'We can't wait to host this fabulous event at Basel 22. ARES Modena's commitment to legacy and their never-ending pursuit to evolve their craft, makes ARES the perfect match to collaborate with No.3 Gin. The collaborations combine the artistic and modern expressions in a way that celebrates uniqueness and where better to unveil this stunning collection than Miami.'
Mo Elarishy, Head of Business Development at ARES Miami, said: 'The shape of a vehicle provides an artist a unique canvas to express their passion and vision. The combination of curves on the exterior body with art can create an emotional influence and arouse desire, it is all about having a meaningful aesthetic feel. Collaborating during Art Basel Miami was the perfect time to showcase Daniela Boo's artwork.'
