Team Joins With The Judge Group to Help Veterans

PHILADELPHIA (June 17, 2013) – The Philadelphia Soul and The Judge Group, a local professional services firm, will collaborate with the Armed Forces on Saturday, June 22 at the Wells Fargo Center. The night will be highlighted by The Judge Group’s Inaugural Veterans Arena Football Game. For the Soul’s Military Appreciation Night game against Iowa, the Armed Forces will take the field at the Wells Fargo Center in a match-up between teams made up of active reservists, and veterans.

The intent of the competition is to help raise awareness about the need for employment amongst veterans. At the event, the business community, headed by the Soul and the Judge Group, will provide assistance for the American heroes and help them network with employers in the Philadelphia area.

“The deploying of veterans onto the NovaCare Field following the Soul’s game is the patriotic culmination of the Philadelphia Soul’s Military Appreciation Night,” explained Soul Co-Majority owner Ron Jaworski. “After all the sacrifice these brave individuals gave, we feel this is some way for us to be able to give back to them.”

In addition to the Veterans game, the event will begin with at “Stars and Stripes Fan Fest” from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. that will include military interactive areas and displays as well as live entertainment, featuring Egg Harbor, NY native rapper, beat boxer, comedian and singer Biz Markie, who is best known for his Top 10 hit “Just A Friend” in 1989.

Beginning at 1 p.m. inside of the arena will be the official launch of the Judge Group’s newest division, Judge Veterans in Professional (VIP) Careers. With the launching, the Judge Group will host a “Speed Vet-Working” event, in which there will be transitioning assistance for all military service members, wounded warriors, veterans, and military spouses before the kick off. The program is expecting nearly 50 employers to attend the event.
