"We will provide our guests with the highest quality sports and entertainment experience in a safe, clean and friendly environment."

A DAY IN PINK AT THE LINC

As you hopefully know already, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month (which is why we decided to make this edition of the BEV is pink). For the past six seasons the Philadelphia Eagles have been promoting the Eagles Tackling Breast Cancer campaign. The goal of the campaign is to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer care and research, with all donations going towards the Jefferson Breast Cancer Center. At today's game and all month long we will be celebrating how much we have accomplished in our goal so far, as well as continuing to spread the word. Wearing pink is definitely encouraged! How can you help? By creating awareness to all guests visiting Lincoln Financial Field and letting them know why today is special. Anyone who wants to contribute can purchase Tackling Breast Cancer memorabilia or give a donation at merchandise locations throughout the stadium. All donations earned will go towards the Jefferson Breast Care Center.

BON APP?TIT FROM ARAMARK SUITES DEPARTMENT By: Susan Hayslip

Guests come to Lincoln Financial Field to watch a great game of football. While they are here, all of us want to give them an awesome experience regardless of what happens on the field. It starts with the parking attendants, ushers and security. Once in the building we at Aramark want to contribute by offering a wide variety of food and beverages that our guests can enjoy during the game. Since I work in the suites department, I will share some of the great things going on in the suite level.

We come up with new items every season to keep it interesting for the suite holders that have a suite for multiple years. Of course we offer the stadium fare like hot dogs, buffalo wings and Italian sausage but we also like to treat our guests to items that you would see on a restaurant menu. Our luscious Shrimp and Crab claws platters or Pan Seared Scallops are great seafood options and the Braised Short Ribs and Carved Tenderloin of Beef are perfect for the meat lovers.

Some of the new items this year are the Applewood Smoked Turkey Sandwich; sliced turkey breast, crispy bacon, Monterey jack cheese, red onions, leaf lettuce, and herb mayonnaise, served on grilled flatbread and the chicken cutlet hoagie which includes breaded chicken cutlet with broccoli rabe, sharp provolone cheese, and roasted red peppers, served on a three-foot hoagie roll.

By partnering with the local farmers, growers, ranchers, and producers we have access to the best available ingredients and a network of suppliers who share our dedication to sourcing sustainable menus. For example the mushrooms used in the Wild Mushroom Cannelloni come from the Moser Mushroom Farm (Kennett Square, PA). For the first time we are also featuring Gluten free items like a gluten free snack package or gluten free lasagna.

IT'S SO HARD TO SAY GOODBYE, TO YESTERDAY By: Rachel Vitagliano

As I sit here in my office next to boxes packed full of binders, picture frames, old rally towels and bobble heads - I am at a loss for words. How do I go about saying goodbye to a game day staff who has been such an integral part of my career? After careful considering, I've decided that I won't.

Instead of saying goodbye, I would like to say THANK YOU...

FOR YOUR SUPPORT as I learned and grew from a 22 year old intern just starting out to my dream job of running the Guest Services department in the National Football League.

FOR PUTTING UP WITH ME when I called on Christmas to activate snow removal team captions, when I put you in the cold November rain and told you to welcome our guests warmly, when I begged you to wear a cowboy hat and help me wristband 12,000 people.

FOR YOUR DEDICATION to our mission of providing a safe, clean and friendly environment for all our guests and teammates.

FOR MAKING ME SMILE each and every event. Even if I had been awake for +24 hours, even if it was my 20th day of work in a row and even when I had a broken foot and had to hobble around for an entire NCAA Lax weekend ? your smiles are what I counted on to keep me moving ahead.

FOR BEING YOU and letting me be a part of a job that you love and the Philadelphia Eagles team you are so passionate about.

As difficult as it is, I am excited to move on with the Cancer Treatment Centers of America at Eastern Regional Hospital in Philadelphia. My new mission will be to welcome each patient and family into an integrative and compassionate team focused on

one single goal: winning the fight against cancer.

The Philadelphia Eagles and Lincoln Financial Field is and will always hold a huge piece of my heart. I cherish all the relationships I've made here and have many great memories. I wish you all the very best and never forget to enjoy the game!
