Ted Keras with the Cincinnati Bengals told Little Miami Panthers students that the teams "Cincy Hat Mission" will deliver Panthers hats and that proceeds will help provide housing for adults with disabilities and also benefit the school district.

Keras made the announcement during a brief school address, saying the hats were "one of my favorite collabs that we've done" and that "these things are sweet." He added, "Not only do these hats help provide housing for adults with disabilities, but they also benefit your school district and you get to rock some sweet gear. So it's gonna be a big year. 2025 is coming up all Cincinnati. Can't wait to see you guys soon." The remarks concluded with a student chant of "Who day?"

The announcement said hats were "on the way" and that the team would be present ‘‘tonight’’ to thank students for participating in the Cincy Hat Mission. The transcript did not specify how proceeds will be collected or distributed, the dollar amounts involved, which housing providers would receive funds, or precisely how the school district would benefit.

Because the statement in the announcement ties the hat promotion to housing for adults with disabilities and a benefit for the district, those claims remain on-the-record but lacking details in the transcript. The school or the Cincinnati Bengals organization would need to provide follow-up information on the fundraising mechanism, distribution of proceeds, and any contractual or programmatic arrangements for the housing support.

No motions, votes, or formal board actions were recorded in the transcript excerpt provided; the segment was a brief public announcement directed at students.
