CHRIS MILLMAN, TEAM STAFF
Chris Millman, the Senior Vice President of Sports Philanthropy & Community Engagement, is in his 18th season with the Atlanta Falcons and 24th season in the NFL. Chris's top priority is giving back the nation's active-duty military, veterans and military families. Under Chris's leadership, the Atlanta Falcons have engaged with Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors for over ten years resulting in the Falcons holding the longest ongoing NFL partnership with the Salute to Service partner. Every year, the Falcons host TAPS families for VIP trips to Atlanta, Falcons away games, and international games. The Falcons have also hosted one of the largest gatherings of TAPS families ever with 94 total families visiting Atlanta in one weekend. Millman leads impactful engagement with the USO hosting several Falcons team trips to bases worldwide. Falcons executives, players and staff have visited military members in Guam, Hawaii, Iraq, Kuwait, Bulgaria, Romania and Germany. Domestically, Millman has led multiple trips to bases throughout the United States. The Falcons have visited bases in the states of Washington, Arizona and Florida. In addition to visiting bases nationwide, the Falcons have visited Walter Reed Hospital in Washington D.C. several times. With Millman's oversight, the Falcons established the Veterans Community Fund. The fund is an associate-led committee comprised of employees that have a close military connection. The committee's guiding theme is helping veterans thrive after military service, giving $1M in grants annually. Most recently, Millman led efforts by the organization to provide the USO a $1M grant to support an initiative bringing USO centers to all U.S. aircraft carriers. Millman has worked tirelessly to lead the Atlanta Falcons deep-rooted military efforts in the Atlanta community and beyond.
