JETS, M3 INSURANCE PARTNER FOR 8TH ANNUAL SALUTE TO SERVICE
Specialty jerseys, free admission for veterans & families highlight promo weekend
JANESVILLE, WI – The Janesville Jets have finalized details for their fourth annual Salute to Service weekend, scheduled for Friday and Saturday, November 10th and 11th versus the Minnesota Wilderness. All veterans and active duty military are invited to bring their families to both nights of hockey, free of charge. Doors open at 6:00pm and puck drops at 7:00pm.
Thanks to corporate partner M3 Insurance, the Jets will again wear specialty uniforms for each game of the series. This year, the specialty jerseys will feature a traditional camouflage design.
The jerseys will be auctioned exclusively at the games on Friday and Saturday night both between periods and after the games with proceeds benefiting local organizations Vets Roll and Housing 4 Our Vets. The jersey auction schedule is set to be released via social media the week of the event.
“The Jets are proud to have this opportunity to recognize those who have served, and give back to local veterans groups,” said Bill McCoshen, Jets President. “As a community-focused organization, holding events like this is part of our mission. I want to personally thank our sponsor, M3 Insurance, and our community partners, Vets Roll, and Housing 4 Our Vets, for making this possible. We are also proud of our Jets alumni who have gone on to attend and shine at our national military academies. One of our roles is to help develop fine young men here in Janesville, and what better way to do that than honoring veterans and raising money for local efforts.”
Vets Roll and Housing 4 Our Vets will each benefit from the weekend’s jersey auction and bartending tips.
”We are honored to be part of the Salute to Service weekend,” said Brad Winchester, account executive at M3. “All of us have family, friends, and co-workers who have served and we deeply appreciate everything they’ve done.”
Other weekend features include ceremonial puck drops, presenting of colors, and multiple recognitions of veterans and active duty military members in attendance.
