The Colts have been great friends and supporters of Christel House. Back in August 2000, the Colts played the Steelers in the American Bowl in Mexico City. During their trip, the team visited with children from Christel House Mexico and presented a commemorative football used in the game that is still on display today.

In 2009, Peyton Manning kicked off Project 18 at the Christel House Academy in Indianapolis where the students learned about healthy living, nutritional choices and staying active. Also last year, students from South Africa and India enjoyed a tour of the Colts practice facility and saw the last Super Bowl Trophy up close.

Just last week, a few young Christel House artists had the tour of a lifetime and their artwork now hangs in Lucas Oil Stadium.

On behalf of over 3000 children and over 250 staff and teachers around the world, GO COLTS!!!
