WASHINGTON -- PenFed Credit Union is again partnering with Major League Baseball’s Washington Nationals to sponsor a Military Appreciation Section in right field at Nationals Park.
PenFed and the Nationals have established a Tickets For Troops program making a select number of complimentary tickets available for military members for all regular season home games at Nationals Park (diamond and marquee level games included).
"PenFed has supported the national military community and the greater Washington community for 84 years," said James Schenck, president and CEO of PenFed Credit Union and CEO of the PenFed Foundation. "We are especially proud to show appreciation for veterans and active-duty servicemembers and their families every day at Nationals Park. This is one of the ways PenFed says 'thank you' to all the brave men and women who protect our freedoms."
Tickets Available
Tickets For Troops are available through Nationals.com/TicketsforTroops. Active duty, veterans, retired, and DOD-civilians can claim tickets online then pick them up in person on the day of the game. A valid military ID or proof of service must be presented on site to claim tickets. PenFed reported it has given away 7,100 complimentary tickets as part of the Tickets For Troops program during the 2018 season.
PenFed's sponsorship at Nats Park also includes significant advertising within the stadium including a permanent outfield wall sign, home plate rotational signage, and digital signage.
