Since 1997, the Jaguars Foundation, through its “Honoring Our Troops” program, has been providing complementary tickets to troops from the Navy and other military branches, guard and reserve units that are on deployment in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere in the world. The Jaguars Foundation partners with the Greater Jacksonville Area USO to offer families on deployment, recently back from deployment or readying for deployment, “family time” together at a Jaguars home game.
At each Jacksonville Jaguars home game, up to 125 game day tickets are donated to the USO for the Honoring Our Troops program. Each child and accompanying adult receives a complementary game-day ticket and an “Honoring Our Troops” T-shirt. Each child also receives complementary Jag Dollars for food or souvenirs.
Before heading out for deployment later this year, Aviation Ordnance man 2nd Class Anthony Lewis and his wife Brandy Lewis enjoy the Jaguars game with their children.
Kudos to the Jags and their leadership for supporting this wonderful program. They are truly making a difference in the lives of those protecting our freedom. Note: Photo courtesy of the Jags.
