"We are proud to be associated with the NATB, which has approximately 175 member ticket brokers in the United States," said Marty Coyne, president and CEO of RMHC.

This partnership is a natural extension of our mission to support families - both financially and emotionally - during a very difficult time in their lives."

This three year initiative will donate 32 tickets for every NFL preseason game in each of the 32 NFL markets.
