The day will be dedicated to completing 25 service projects across the Carolinas.
Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper has announced a new initiative- Keep Pounding Day, per Jourdan Rodrigue of the Charlotte Observer.
Panthers owner Dave Tepper has designated May 1 as Keep Pounding Day, a day of service in which the team will execute 25 service projects in NC/SC.

Tepper: "May 1 was selected for the inaugural effort because No.51 was the jersey of former Panthers player and coach Sam Mills.”
This is awesome for a number of reasons. The date was chosen to honor Sam Mills, who is responsible for making ‘Keep Pounding’ the mantra of the Carolina Panthers while also embodying its message. It’s amazing that David Tepper is so aware of the team’s culture and history despite being new to the organization. Props to him for doing his research and listening to the people in the know.
And of course, it’s always cool to see the Panthers doing good in the community. Keep Pounding Day will add to the growing list of Keep Pounding initiatives already run by the organization. The fact that the service projects span both of the Carolinas deepens the ‘Two States, One Team’ slogan that the Panthers have been pushing in recent years. It’s clear Tepper is serious about that.
