"We feel so grateful to be a part of this incredible community," Kraft Heinz wrote. "The resiliency, determination, and strong work ethic of Aliquippa inspires and reminds us to do better every day. We are building a new legacy for Heinz Field and the future looks extremely bright. We are so proud of everything that you have accomplished this year, and we look forward to another amazing year together in 2024."

This summer, Kraft Heinz donated $1.3 million to the Aliquippa School District to help build an academic and athletic center attached to the new "Heinz Field," which is the district's renovated football stadium also known as "The Pit." 

The academic and athletic center will feature offices, lockers, weight rooms, training and therapy rooms and a large collaborative creative space for hands-on learning. Kraft Heinz said community members will also have access to the flexible space and weight rooms for programs and classes.

The school district says the special ketchup bottles are just for the team and staff. They aren't for sale.
