MCLEAN, Va.: BigBear.ai (NYSE: BBAI), a leading provider of mission-ready AI for national security, today announced their support of the Washington Commanders annual “My Cause, My Cleats” charity campaign. Now in its tenth year, the initiative allows players, coaches, and staff across the league to display custom and creatively designed cleats to elevate important non-profit organizations. BigBear.ai’s partner, the Washington Commanders, sported unique causes represented on the cleats during the Sunday Night Football game.

Beginning December 1, select Washington Commanders’ cleats will be available for public bidding in an online auction, with each pair supporting a different charitable organization. BigBear.ai's cleats will be auctioned in support of the local military charity Fort Meade Alliance Foundation.

BigBear.ai worked in partnership with Monica Blakely, owner of Passion for Ezra, a veteran-owned and operated design studio rooted in the community – to create a design acknowledging military families’ service and strength.

“BigBear.ai is honored to support the Fort Meade Alliance Foundation and its mission to strengthen the well-being and resiliency of the Fort Meade community,” said Kevin McAleenan, CEO of BigBear.ai. “We are proud to partner with the Washington Commanders in bringing greater visibility to organizations making an extraordinary impact on service members and their families.”

Supporters are invited to participate in the online auction, which will remain open until January 5, 2026.
