Chargers & ROKiT Sponsor Thanksgiving Dinner for the Veterans Advocacy Group of America
2nd Annual Veterans Thanksgiving Appreciation Dinner
November is Salute to Service Month in the NFL, and also, the month for giving thanks. To show their gratitude, the Los Angeles Chargers and ROKiT were presenting sponsors of the Veterans Advocacy Group of America’s Thanksgiving Appreciation Dinner on Tuesday.
“The Chargers believe so strongly in supporting our military and appreciating veterans and all that they do for us,” said Chargers President of Football Operations, John Spanos. “Whenever an opportunity arises to do something for them (like) serve them Thanksgiving dinner, we’re happy to do it.”
“The reason we did the deal with the Chargers is because of how community-oriented they are because they’re involved with programs like this,” added Clinton Ehrlich, Chief Marketing Officer ROKiT. “To have John Spanos here with (Co-Founder of ROKiT) John Paul DeJoria and have players (and) legends here being able to give back is fantastic. It really says a lot to all the things we put on paper with the Chargers and (to) actually see them come to fruition is fantastic.”
Along with Spanos and Chargers Legend Shawne Merriman, current players Virgil Green, Cardale Jones and Artavis Scott served Thanksgiving dinner to hundreds of veterans. ROKiT donated 150 phones to veterans and their families.
For Green, the event hit home given his ties to the military.
