Military Appreciation
The Penguins Foundation proudly supports our active-duty military members and veterans and honors their service to our country through various initiatives in an effort to thank them for their sacrifices for our freedom.
Military Appreciation Game
84 Lumber was named the presenting partner of the Pittsburgh Penguins' Military Appreciation Platform and Game, which will take place on Saturday, November 11 versus the Buffalo Sabres. The Penguins and 84 Lumber will partner for the Military Appreciation Game and several other initiatives to celebrate those who have fought, and continue to fight, for our freedom every day.
Military Salute
The Military Salute Presented by GetGo is an initiative hosted to honor current members of the military and veterans. The Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation partners with a different military-based organization each month in order to select recipients. After a recipient is chosen, they are given the opportunity to attend a Pittsburgh Penguins game and receive an in-game tribute.
