Nationwide lender also donating 500 game tickets to local Veterans and Military personnel
rossCountry Mortgage (CCM), a top five retail mortgage lender, is the Official Mortgage Partner of the 20th annual Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl. The game will be played December 22 at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas. CCM’s sponsorship enabled free tickets for 500 Veterans and Military personnel in the Dallas-Fort Worth area to enjoy the game. Known as the “Bowl for the Brave,” the Armed Forces Bowl highlights all branches of the Military and includes an array of pre- and in-game activities calling attention to the sacrifices of the nation’s heroes. It is the only bowl game to have featured all three U.S. military academies multiple times, most recently Army in 2018.
“The American dream of homeownership wouldn’t be possible without the selfless service of our U.S. Armed Forces,” said Laura Soave, chief brand officer, CCM. “We are proud to participate in this exciting game in honor of the brave individuals who protect our communities and keep us united and strong.”
Since 2014, the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl has been the second highest-scoring bowl game. The Rose Bowl is the only game with more points scored. Ninety players participating in the Armed Forces Bowl have been selected in the NFL draft, including six in 2022.
CCM’s commitment to the Military extends year-round. In addition to offering VA loans as part of its lending portfolio, this year the company awarded Military Members with surprise gifts to cover housing costs, reunited Military families, supported physically impaired Veterans through adaptive sports, packed care kits for deployed troops and families, and donated hundreds of professional sporting tickets to Military members and their families.
