Cincinnati Bengals star wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase won the FedEx Air & Ground Player of The Year award that was presented at the 2025 NFL Honors last Thursday and it will lead to a huge donation in support of HBCUs. To celebrate Chase’s victory, FedEx is donating $40,000 in his name to HBCUs across the U.S.
For over two decades, the FedEx Air & Ground Awards have celebrated exceptional players while giving back to the community. In partnership with the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, FedEx donates $2,000 each week during the season in the names of the two winning players—totaling $4,000 weekly—to support HBCUs nationwide. Over the last three seasons alone, these contributions have exceeded $300,000, and since the program’s launch, nearly $3 million has been donated to various non-profits.
