1. Helping youth experience the game of football

Each Ticats home game Hage invites a group of underprivileged kids to watch the game from the exclusive Hage's Heroes seats. Prior to the game each group meets with Hage and receives their very own Hage's Heroes t-shirt. To date this program has welcomed over 5,000 youth to Tiger-Cats home games.

2. Giving back to the underprivileged

At Thanksgiving Hage partners with Speroway for the Hage's Heroes Thanksgiving Family Food Box Program, donating 1,000 food boxes to disadvantaged families. To date this program has donated over 6,000 boxes throughout Hamilton and Moncton.

During the 2013 off-season Hage expanded his charitable efforts internationally by joining Speroway on a goodwill trip to El Salvador, distributing food and participating in a medical mission.

In the past Hage has helped with various community initiatives including donations to McMaster Children's Hospital. In December 2010 Hage also sponsored a toy drive in connection with City Kidz, providing Christmas gifts to 120 underprivileged youth.
