Through initiatives like Play 60, Seahawks Flag Football, & Kicks4Kids, we promote development, health, & active lifestyles. Founded in 2006, Mat-Su Sea Hawkers is a distinguished non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to empowering youth in the Mat-Su Valley and across Alaska. With a mission to support youth health, wellness, and leadership skill development, the organization has become a pi
votal force for positive change, fostering opportunities for young individuals while advancing community and social betterment. Run by an all-volunteer Board of Directors, Mat-Su Sea Hawkers is committed to combating childhood obesity and preventing inappropriate behaviors through innovative, health-focused programs such as the Play 60 Challenge, Seahawks Flag Football, and the Kicks4Kids shoe initiative. Their efforts inspire youth to embrace healthy living through nutrition, active lifestyles, and educational opportunities. In addition, the organization encourages volunteerism, team building, leadership development, and participation in community-based wellness initiatives. Mat-Su Sea Hawkers' impact is further amplified by the Sea Hawker/Seahawks Alaska 12 Tour Community Outreach, which promotes physical and mental wellness through engagements with Alaska's urban and rural school-age youth, patients at Children's Hospital - Anchorage, Alaska Native Medical Center, Ronald McDonald House, and Alaska-based military personnel. The organization also contributes to local Alaska charities through fundraising efforts. Thanks to the unwavering support of volunteers, donors, and sponsors, alongside meaningful partnerships with the Seattle Seahawks' players, cheerleaders, and staff, Mat-Su Sea Hawkers continues to serve as a catalyst for youth development and community well-being across Alaska.
