The Maxwell Football Club is proud to announce a partnership with Operation Teammate, a nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring and supporting military children through unique sports experiences. This collaboration will provide meaningful opportunities for military families while strengthening the Club’s community outreach initiatives.

Since 2015, Operation Teammate has been committed to showing military children that they are not alone by making them honorary teammates for a day. Through partnerships with collegiate and professional sports organizations, Operation Teammate gives these children VIP experiences, including meeting athletes, attending practices, and getting behind-the-scenes tours of facilities. The goal is to foster connection, involvement, and inspiration for military children, emphasizing their resilience and strength.

“At the Maxwell Football Club, we understand the sacrifices that military families make every day,” said Mark Wolpert, Executive Director of the Maxwell Football Club. “Our partnership with Operation Teammate is a way for us to give back, showing these incredible young men and women that they are valued and appreciated. Football has always been about more than just the game—it’s about leadership, perseverance, and community. We are honored to stand alongside Operation Teammate in supporting military children and their families.”

Operation Teammate provides an environment for military children to feel special and take their minds off the hardships of military life. Studies show that children who participate in Operation Teammate events demonstrate reduced stress, increased interest in new activities, and a stronger sense of community support. These experiences offer comfort and encouragement to military families, reinforcing the idea that their sacrifices are recognized and valued.
