Cody Whitehair (Offensive Lineman)
As a veteran leader on the team and one of our team captains, Cody Whitehair consistently supports the community and particularly members of the military. He has participated in past Salute to Service week events, including a luncheon at Halas Hall with veterans from the Midwest Veterans Homeless Shelter. In partnership with Campbell's Soup and Jewel-Osco, Whitehair served lunch and spent time getting to know the men and women who served our country. This season, for the first time, he participated in our Home Team Hand-Off ticket donation program by purchasing four tickets to each Bears home game and donating them to our Boeing Military Salute honorees and their families. At each Bears home game, a deserving member of the military is honored in an on-field recognition during the third quarter. The Military Salute provides the opportunity for the Bears, Boeing, and our great fans to give thanks and show support to those who protect our country and to also honor the history and heritage of Soldier Field. Whitehair has enhanced the program not only by personally donating tickets, but additionally by giving each honoree one of his signed jerseys as a memory of the day. He plans to continue his military support by taking part in our team's Salute to Service events throughout the month of November.
