He noted that the team’s culture was built on trust, care, and alignment with its mission: to inspire and serve the greatest football community in the world. Key takeaways:
From discussing football with a fan at a local gas station to helping a mom get her daughter’s jersey to the Super Bowl, Don's stories reflected who the Eagles are — a team and a community driven by purpose. ![]() ![]() The Chamber was also pleased to award Pamela Sarne McCormick, Director of Legislative and Community Affairs at SEPTA with the Chairman’s Award.
