Allison Stangeby, VP of Community Relations
Allison Stangeby, Giants VP of Community & Corporate Relations, embodies each tenet of the NFL's Salute to Service campaign to honor, empower and connect service members, veterans and their families. Long before her son, SSgt Joseph Stangeby, entered the Army, Stangeby was working behind the scenes with the team to HONOR those who courageously serve or have served our country. Stangeby continues to show her military support in many meaningful ways, from facilitating re-enlistment ceremonies to donating game tickets to military families. Stangeby's goal is to continuously EMPOWER the military community. Hosting military personnel at practice has allowed the team to give their thanks and show their support, and surprising a family each game day for our on-field "Military Moment" has inspired our fans for years – all things she's incredibly honored to have championed. And when things get difficult as a military mom, her moms support group has empowered her to continue the good work she's doing. While proud of these accomplishments, Stangeby mostly understands the importance of building relationships to CONNECT with the military community. Whether it's in our backyard with the NYPD veterans group or in our German international market, she's ensuring that service members and veterans are getting the support they need. She spearheaded the team partnering with amazing military-related nonprofits such as Merging Vets and Players, Tunnel to Towers Foundation for their Homeless Veterans Program, Puppies Behind Bars and HicksStrong. For someone who's been with the Giants for 36 seasons, her work within the military community has never gone unnoticed and is the reason so many tri-state area military organizations receive the support they so badly need. We are proud and honored to nominate Allison Stangeby for this award – an incredible military mom and champion for those who fight for our freedom.
