Joe, I'm sure has had the opportunity to endorse/support dozens of various companies. Instead, he signs a community service pledge with the Guinness Gives Back program. I love having a QB who realizes his name can do more than just sell insurance.

Since 1759, Guinness has been serving more than just beer, and for all of us, the time to serve is now.
Today Guinness announced a multi-year collaboration with professional quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow, who is pledging hours of his time to serve communities in need – and is calling on others to act. With Burrow's help, the Guinness spirit of giving and goodness has never been stronger, as the aim is to get Americans to pledge more than one million service hours to support their communities through the Guinness Gives Back program.

Burrow will join forces with Guinness, alongside the original "Joe Cool," legendary quarterback Joe Montana, who has been working with the brand since 2020. Burrow first inspired millions in his 2019 Heisman Trophy speech, where he delivered an impactful message about poverty and food insecurity in his hometown in Southeast Ohio.
"Many people in our country are facing a series of challenges right now and can benefit from the support of others, and I am humbled to be in a position to make a difference – and encourage others to do so, as well," Burrow said. "Teaming up with a brand like Guinness, who has 'giving back' at the core of what they do, just makes sense."
"Burrow is a talent on the field – and it's been fun to watch what he's been able to accomplish so early in his career," Montana said. "But it's also inspiring to see what he's doing off the field by giving back and investing his time for good causes. I'm looking forward to working with Joe and Guinness to help spread the message and encourage others to give their time to their communities for those in need."
"At Guinness we seek out partners with heart, and grit, and our shared values of power, goodness and communion," explained Jay Sethi, CMO, Diageo Beer Company. "Joe Montana and Joe Burrow embody these same values through their work and the examples they've set. These men will help elevate our pledge of service to get the national attention and commitment our country deserves."
Since its inception in 1759, Guinness has been a cornerstone of its communities, serving those who need it most. During the pandemic, while the gates to the Guinness Open Gate Brewery in Baltimore were closed to the public, the team baked and donated over 50,000 loaves of "brewers' bread" to the Maryland Food Bank, at a time when COVID-19 was creating greater food scarcity concerns within the community.
In addition to bread and our commitment to service, Guinness is approaching nearly $3 million in donations to charitable organizations since the onset of the pandemic. No matter how you choose to honor your community, remember to always raise a pint responsibly.
The best (and most important!) work is yet to come.
