The USO of Wisconsin is pleased to announce the third year of a special partnership with the Milwaukee Brewers and Brewers Community Foundation, Inc. and a program designed to honor active military personnel and their families at Miller Park. Beginning with the April 5, 2010 game and continuing through the September 26, 2010 game – a total of 81 games – pitcher Jeff Suppan, in partnership with the Milwaukee Brewers and Brewers Community Foundation Inc., will donate four excellent Field Level seats behind Home Plate for use by active military and their families. In 2008, these seats were specially outfitted with camouflage colors as a tribute to our service men and women and they have come to be known as the “Soup‟s Troops” seats. mailto:soups@usowisconsin.org

Serving our Armed Forces Since 1941

To add to this special package: Jeff Suppan will donate $200 in Miller Park certificates to the occupants of these seats – $50 per guest – so they can enjoy food and beverages or purchase a special souvenir while they are at the ballpark. The USO of Wisconsin is adding its support to the Soup‟s Troops seats by providing a parking pass for each recipient. Brewers Community Foundation will also be adding a special camouflage t-shirt to the package for the 81 seat recipients. Jeff„s gift has been made possible thorough a generous donation he makes each year to Brewers Community Foundation Inc., the club‟s charitable arm. Brewers Community Foundation Inc. works with Jeff to put his gift to use in our community and he has a special fondness for people serving our country and the families that await their return. In 2009, Jeff contributed nearly $61,000 to military causes including the Soup‟s Troops seats, the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, the Stars and Stripes Honor Flight program and the costs of shipping holiday gifts to local troops serving in Afghanistan. As a result of Jeff Suppan‟s ongoing support for our military families, the Soup‟s Troops seats have quickly become a very sought-after package at Miller Park.

The USO of Wisconsin will coordinate the selection process for use of the Soup‟s Troops seats at Miller Park, which will be made available to all branches of the military and their families. The USO will work with military units in Wisconsin as well as other organizations with ties to military families to seek potential recipients for the Soup‟s Troops seats. Entry forms submitted to the USO will be entered into a drawing, held by the USO.

If you or someone you know wishes to take part in this special Soup‟s Troops seat package drawing, please complete and return the attached form to the USO of Wisconsin by Friday, March 12, 2010. All names submitted by this date will be eligible for the drawing which will occur shortly thereafter. Recipients will be notified by Brewers Community Foundation Inc. to arrange for coordination of game tickets, Miller Park certificates, parking pass and camouflage t-shirt.

The USO of Wisconsin is pleased to again partner with Milwaukee Brewers Pitcher Jeff Suppan and Brewers Community Foundation Inc. on this special package for our service men and women and their families. We recognize that only a limited number of people will be able to utilize this ticket package. Brewers Community Foundation Inc. will generously provide additional game tickets to the USO for use during the 2010 season to accommodate military personnel and their families. Please contact us for information on the additional block of 2010 Milwaukee Brewers‟ game tickets.
