RXO, Partner of the Carolina Panthers, Presents 7-on-7 Tournament

RXO, provider of asset-light transportation solutions, presented the Oorah Hooah Classic 7-on-7 Football Tournament with the Carolina Panthers on Sept. 25 at Bank of America Stadium. The day featured 7-on-7 style football games between active-duty service members from the Army and Marines.

More than 50 active-duty service members stationed at Fort Liberty and Camp Lejeune competed on four teams in three games of pool play plus a single elimination tournament to crown the champion.

“We’re thrilled to be able to partner with the Carolina Panthers for this amazing event and to showcase this great day of flag football between our service members,” said Dennis McCaffrey, senior vice president of enterprise sales at RXO.

“We are extremely proud of the military at RXO, and our veteran employees are some of our most successful leaders. The values and grit that the military instills matches RXO’s values, and we are dedicated to supporting the military community by providing meaningful hiring opportunities for veterans. As a veteran myself, it’s an honor to be able to give back to those who serve.”

The teams were coached by Panthers legends, including Jason Baker, Colin Cole, Ricky Proehl and Mark Rodenhauser. The former NFL players provided coaching throughout the day as well as conducted a question-and-answer session with game attendees.

“The Carolina Panthers are pleased to partner with RXO and USO of North Carolina to provide this memorable experience for our region’s military personnel and the opportunity to express our gratitude for their service and commitment to our country,” said Panthers Director of Community Relations Riley Fields.

Local leadership from the USO of North Carolina were onsite to accept a $10,000 donation from RXO in support of the organization’s mission to serve active-duty service members and their families. RXO also hosted several veteran employees and customers at the event.

RXO is the official supply chain and logistics partner of the Panthers. For more information, visit www.rxo.com
