United Sports Abroad is honored to be featured in this year’s NFL My Cause My Cleats campaign. New England Patriots safety Jaylinn Hawkins is proudly wearing custom cleats representing our mission to support U.S. military-connected youth overseas.

These cleats raise awareness for the thousands of DoDEA athletes around the world who lack access, exposure, and opportunities compared to stateside athletes. Jaylinn is helping spotlight their stories, their sacrifices, and the work we are doing to give them a path forward through sports, recruiting, and life-skills programs.

In partnership with Sport Impact, Jaylinn’s custom cleats will be auctioned off after the campaign, with proceeds supporting our 2026 global programs — and the cleats will also be taken to the Super Bowl as part of Sport Impact’s cause-driven showcase.

This is a huge moment for our organization, for the athletes we serve, and for every military family around the world.
