Operation Fan Mail, the program that honors military families and veterans at Packers home games, will be celebrating its 18th season in 2024, with Network Health as the presenting sponsor for the second year. Since its inception in 2007, the program has been dedicated to showing appreciation for those who are actively serving or have served in the military, as well as their families. Each home game in 2024, the Packers and Network Health will host a different family and recognize them on the field during pregame activities. To date, a total of 206 families have been honored through Operation Fan Mail.
Packers President/CEO Mark Murphy expressed the importance of recognizing these brave men and women for their sacrifices and thanked them for their service at Lambeau Field. Network Health’s Chief Administrative Officer Penny Ransom pointed out that partnering with the Packers aligns with their mission of creating strong and healthy communities in Wisconsin. By supporting Operation Fan Mail, they are able to show appreciation for military service members who exhibit excellence and performance in their lives.
For families interested in being considered for recognition, the Packers and Network Health are encouraging them to submit a 500-word essay explaining why a particular fan should be honored during the season. Essays can be mailed to Operation Fan Mail in Green Bay or submitted online through the Packers website. Families eligible for recognition include those with a member serving on active duty or someone who is a veteran. Selected families will also receive four tickets to the game as a courtesy from Network Health.
