JOPLIN, MO / ACCESS Newswire / July 31, 2025 / TAMKO Building Products, Proud Partner of the Kansas City Chiefs, is excited to announce the return of Operation Rooftop, a roof giveaway sweepstakes created to honor those who have served in the U.S. military.** Back for its second year, the program will once again provide one current or former military member with a brand-new roof featuring TAMKO’s high-performance Titan XT® shingles.
In 2024, retired Marine Corps veteran Garron Abernathy of Blue Springs, Missouri, was selected as the inaugural Operation Rooftop winner. His new roof installation came at just the right time. “As a Marine Corps veteran, knowing that my home will be safe and secure with this new roof means everything to me and my family,” Garron shared. His story of service and sacrifice informs the spirit of the program, and its continuation in 2025.
Operation Rooftop is a collaboration between two organizations deeply rooted in the American spirit – the four-time world champion Kansas City Chiefs and TAMKO Building Products, LLC, a company founded in 1944 with a long-standing commitment to American manufacturing and veteran support. The program was created to recognize the dedication and selflessness of U.S. military personnel by providing one hero with reliable, long-term roof protection.
This year’s winner will receive a new roof built with Titan XT® shingles, known for their Class 3 impact rating,* superior wind protection up to 160 MPH,† and award-winning performance. Voted 2024 Product of the Year in the Home Protection Category by 40,000 consumers,‡ Titan XT® shingles demonstrate TAMKO’s dedication to quality, durability, and consumer trust.
“Together with TAMKO, we’re proud to support those who have served our country and give back in a meaningful, lasting way,” said Kellen Begnoche, Vice President of Partnership Strategy for the Kansas City Chiefs. “It’s an honor to help make a difference in the lives of veterans in our community and continue a tradition that reflects the values we hold as an organization.”
“We’re proud to bring Operation Rooftop back for a second year to recognize the outstanding service of our nation’s heroes,” said Chris Freeborg, Vice President and Chief Marketing & Product Development Officer at TAMKO and a U.S. military veteran himself. “The fact that we’re able to put veterans first means a lot to me. I think about the people I served with – the culture, the camaraderie – and I’m honored to help give back to that community. It’s a privilege.”
TAMKO’s support for veterans goes beyond this giveaway. Nearly 15% of TAMKO’s nationwide workforce is made up of veterans, with an even larger percentage in leadership roles. The company has also contributed time, funding, and materials to veteran-centered nonprofits, including Field of Honor, Veterans Airlift Command, and Patriot PAWS.
Current and former U.S. military members are encouraged to enter for a chance to win by visiting the Kansas City Chiefs’ Operation Rooftop website.
