Lost Local is proud to announce a heartfelt collaboration with NFL running back AJ Dillon and the Dillon Family Foundation, uniting our shared commitment to community empowerment and combating hunger. This partnership introduces three exclusive hat designs, each reflecting significant aspects of AJ Dillon's journey and the communities that have shaped him. Notably, 50% of all proceeds from this collection will directly support the foundation's mission to provide resources and opportunities for families in need.
Introducing the Exclusive Hat Designs
Our collaboration features three unique hat designs that embody the essence of AJ Dillon's personal and professional life:
-
LL Wisconsin: Celebrating AJ's impactful tenure with the Green Bay Packers, this design pays homage to the state where he has made significant contributions on the field and in the community.
-
LL Door County: Inspired by the picturesque region where AJ and his wife, Gabrielle, have established their home, this hat reflects their deep connection to the area. AJ's affection for Door County is well-known; in November 2021, he was honored with the key to the county by Destination Door County, recognizing his role as an ambassador for the community.
-
LL New London: Paying tribute to AJ's roots, this design honors his birthplace of New London, Connecticut. AJ's early years in New London laid the foundation for his athletic journey, including his time at New London High School before transferring to Lawrence Academy in Massachusetts.
In addition to these designs, we're excited to introduce our first line of kid-sized hats, ensuring that supporters of all ages can participate in this meaningful cause.
