## Story

TROY, Mich. – Ziebart International Corporation (Ziebart) is excited to announce the launch of its Military Sweepstakes, offering one lucky winner a trip to the Army VS Notre Dame NCAA football game on November 23. Working in collaboration with NOCAP Sports Ziebart’s sweepstakes giveaway is in partnership with New York Giants defensive back and U.S. Military Academy West Point grad Elijah Riley, along with support from other professional athletes backing the cause.

Riley’s military roots closely align with Ziebart’s longstanding commitment to supporting the military and U.S. veterans. In fact, more than 10% of Ziebart’s franchise owners are veterans as the brand uniquely waives the entire franchise fee for veteran owners. Though Riley deferred his military service to pursue his professional football career, he is closely followed by West Point graduates and the military communities.

“Elijah Riley embodies the true spirit of defense, from defending the country on the front lines, to defending on the football field, and now defending his vehicle through this exciting partnership with Ziebart,” said Thomas A. Wolfe, President and CEO of Ziebart. “By teaming up with Elijah, we’re able to extend our support to military veterans in a meaningful way, celebrating those who have served and defending the heroes of tomorrow.”

Ziebart’s Military Sweepstakes is open now through Veteran’s Day, November 11, for submissions. The winner selected to receive two game tickets to the Army vs. Notre Dame game, along with an airline credit, hotel voucher, and Visa gift card to enjoy the game will be announced on November 15.
