Operation That's My Ride

In collaboration with the USO, the Black Wolves are supporting "Operation That's My Ride" with a bike assembly event prior to the game on February 19th. The program allows people to recognize the children of military families for their sacrifice and honors their parents to service to our country. Volunteers, along with Black Wolves players and staff, will be putting together bikes donated by local businesses and will present them to military families at halftime of the game.

Operation Baggataway

Beginning on February 19th, Operation Baggataway will be holding a drive to collect unused or old lacrosse gear to build lacrosse libraries around the world so every service member can enjoy lacrosse during deployment.

West Point Band

Members of the West Point Band, the Army's oldest musical organization, will be on hand during Military Appreciation Day. Founded on the grounds of the United States Military Academy in 1817, the band has performed at numerous historical events and fulfills more than 1600 official missions annually.
