The Jets announce Helix Wireless, a leading provider of IoT and communication solutions, as An Official IoT Partner of the team. As part of this exciting collaboration, Helix Wireless will also serve as the Presenting Sponsor of the Jets Foundation's 50/50 Raffle Program, a key initiative that raises critical funds for community programs throughout the region.
The New York Jets 50/50 Raffle Program, held during every home game, directs half of the total proceeds to a designated beneficiary, with the remaining half awarded to one lucky fan.
During the Jets Thursday night game versus the Houston Texans, Helix Wireless selected the Associated Humane Societies of Tinton Falls, NJ, as the beneficiary of the 50/50 Raffle. AHS, the largest animal sheltering system in New Jersey, received $20,000 of the proceeds to support their critical work in rescuing, caring for, and finding homes for thousands of animals each year.
"On behalf of the Associated Humane Societies, we are grateful for the generous support of the Jets Foundation," said Jerry Rosenthal, CEO of the Associated Humane Societies. This donation will help provide the support we need to care for the thousands of animals we look after every year—a number that's steadily rising as we navigate these tough times. Not only will this contribution aid in providing AHS pets with medical care and sheltering, but more deserving pets will also find loving homes. We are incredibly thankful for the Jets Foundation's commitment to giving back to the community."
"We're excited to partner with the New York Jets and the Jets Foundation, combining our IoT solutions with a cause that directly supports animals in need," said John Squillace, CEO & Founder of Helix Wireless. "This partnership underscores our ongoing commitment to giving back and making a positive impact, and we're proud to play a role in such a great initiative that supports essential community programs across the region."
"The Jets are proud to join forces with Helix Wireless to positively impact community programs throughout the region" said Jeff Fernandez, Vice President, Business Development + Ventures. "As an innovative IoT company, Helix is a perfect partner to collaborate with on fan initiatives, in the local community at the Stadium and across the entire New York marketplace.
As part of the collaboration, Helix Wireless also holds the Player Walk Entitlement, giving the company exclusive brand ownership of the player arrival entryway leading into the stadium and the Jets locker room. Helix Wireless branding will be visible during all Jets preseason and regular season home games, providing significant exposure and aligning the brand with the team's most exciting moments before each game.
