More chances to play. More opportunities to develop skills for the future

Learning to lead on the field so you can lead in any field

Bridgestone has teamed up with five professional football franchises—the Cleveland Browns, Dallas Cowboys, Los Angeles Rams, New England Patriots and Tennessee Titans—to support the expansion of girls flag football across the United States. Through donations to support equipment, training, transportation, and technology, Bridgestone is helping increase on-field opportunities for young women to develop skills through sport that can serve them in their professional careers.

Bridging gaps to drive more diversity on and off the golf course

Bridgestone is the presenting sponsor of the Bridgestone Collegiate Development Program, a part of the PGA TOUR’s Pathway to Progression. The program is designed to drive greater diversity in the sport through increased access and development opportunities for players from historically underrepresented groups. Together with the PGA TOUR and other partners we can help bridge the gap to build a stronger, more inclusive future for the golf community both on and off the course.

Helping the next generation of innovators develop skills that will advance the future of mobility

On July 14, 2024, the Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC) self-driving racecar set a new autonomous hill climb record at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The PoliMove-MSU team that participated included students from Italy and the United States. They programmed a driverless car that relied on Bridgestone racing tires for optimal grip and control. The collaborative efforts delivered a new record finishing time of 66.37 seconds and a top speed of 111.2 mph on the iconic course.
