Fayetteville native Brian Borowski has been selected as one of four finalists for the 2024 Stick Tap for Service Program, presented by Navy Federal Credit Union and the NHL. Stick Tap recognizes members of the military community who have made outstanding contributions to their community through a variety of service initiatives. As a second runner-up finalist, Brian will designate a charity of his choice to receive a donation of $5,000.
Brian is a 34-year Veteran and Army Reservist. He was on Active Duty for Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm, and deployed with the Army Reserves to Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Currently in the Army Reserves, Brian is a staff operations training specialist as a government civilian.
Brian is a passionate supporter of the Fayetteville hockey community who serves as an off-ice official for the local Fayetteville Marksmen, where he runs the play clock or assists in the penalty box. Brian, a survivor of acute promyelocytic leukemia, also participates in the NHL’s Hockey Fights Cancer events, where he paints the names of cancer survivors, current cancer patients, and those who lost their battle on the ice before games. He’s also passionate about the performing arts, having donated over 400 volunteer hours to Artist Village Hope Mills, a local theater group.
To wrap up the first day, attendees were able to meet up for a social event at the Brad Halling American Whiskey Ko. in Southern Pines where a $10,000 check was presented to the Joint Special Operations Foundation for their scholarship fund. Photo pr
