RXO, a prominent provider of asset-light transportation solutions, joined forces with the Carolina Panthers to host the Oorah Hooah Classic 7-on-7 Football Tournament at Bank of America Stadium. The event featured 7-on-7 style football games that brought together active-duty service members from the Army and Marines. Over 50 service members stationed at Fort Liberty and Camp Lejeune participated in this event, competing in four teams through three pool play games and a single-elimination tournament to determine the champion.

Dennis McCaffrey, Senior Vice President of Enterprise Sales at RXO, expressed excitement about the partnership with the Carolina Panthers and the opportunity to showcase a day of flag football for service members. He highlighted RXO's commitment to the military community, emphasizing the alignment of military values with RXO's corporate values. McCaffrey, a veteran himself, underscored the importance of providing meaningful employment opportunities for veterans.

The teams had the privilege of being coached by Panthers legends, including Jason Baker, Colin Cole, Ricky Proehl, and Mark Rodenhauser. These former NFL players not only provided coaching throughout the day but also engaged in a question-and-answer session with attendees.

Riley Fields, Panthers Director of Community Relations, expressed the team's pleasure in collaborating with RXO and the USO of North Carolina to create this memorable experience for military personnel in the region. He emphasized the opportunity to express gratitude for their service and dedication to the country.

Furthermore, local leadership from the USO of North Carolina was present to receive a generous $10,000 donation from RXO in support of the organization's mission to serve active-duty service members and their families. The event also welcomed several veteran employees and customers of RXO.
