Employed at New 2nd Capital in New York City, Kate Merli is responsible for tracking investment data, managing the annual financial review process, and overseeing providers of external services. In her free time, Kate Merli enjoys watching New England Patriots football.
During the 2018 football season, the New England Patriots Charitable Foundation and the Kraft company hosted a marathon and half marathon in Gillette Stadium. The race served as a Boston Marathon qualifying event, the only one held entirely inside an NFL stadium, and it raised more than $70,000 for the Patriots Foundation to serve the homeless.
In December 2018, the Patriots Foundation used the funds from the marathon to buy more than 700 water-resistant winter coats. Specially made to transform into sleeping bags, the “Empowerment Coats” were designed by a young entrepreneur named Veronika Scott who wanted to help people facing life on the streets.
Ms. Scott started by passing out the coats herself in Detroit. She later began hiring men and women who are homeless to make more coats. For the past five years, the Patriots Foundation has helped distribute Ms. Scott’s Empowerment Coats to homeless people across New England.
