Fort Collins, Colo. – Protect The Game is excited to announce key additions to our staff as we enter 2025, including a new board member and three new interns who will help to improve our ability and dedication in our efforts training military veterans to become youth sports officials.
Patty Seaser, Director of Fundraising
Patty Seaser will take on the role of Director of Fundraising for PTG. From the moment we shared our mission statement with her, Patty's infectious excitement and ability to relay our story to the community had increased involvement and donations. Her dedication will allow us to increase the number of veterans trained and working in sports officiating.
"When it comes to ideas and leadership on raising money for a non-profit, Patty Seaser has risen to the top in our Protect The Game ranks," said Patty Harsch, Protect The Game Founder.
Patty comes from an impressive background of founding the Egg & I Restaurant chain with her husband Rayno. Patty also serves on the Board of Directors for The Center for Family Outreach, a non-profit providing services to at-risk adolescents.
Patty’s ability to connect with the community and inspire support ensures Protect The Game can continue its vital mission. Her leadership will play a crucial role in expanding opportunities for veterans in Colorado and help our efforts nationwide.
2025 Internship Hires
Protect The Game welcomes three new interns in 2025, all of which come to the organization through Colorado State University’s Sports Management Club, a connection made by PTG board member Andy Hansen.
Adam Aquilina will serve as Protect The Game’s Veterans Liason Director. Anthony Bonaventura will serve as the Database Director and Jordi Loe will be our Director of Community Relations.
“We’re so grateful to have Jordi, Adam, and Anthony joining our ranks. These talented students will help to organize our contacts across the country, deepen our relationships with those who have gone through our program, and, provide a well thought out pathway for us to release information via social media,” said Harsch.
