I will be stepping down from my current position effective Friday, June 20, 2025, due to ongoing childcare challenges. This has been a very difficult decision, as many of you know how much I love my job and the work we do together.
That said, I’m incredibly thankful for the opportunity to continue supporting on Game Days, and I look forward to staying connected in that capacity.
For any questions related to the fundraising program, including your contract or donation details, please reach out to Mark Malkiewicz at mmalkiewicz@delawarenorth.com.
Ashley will continue to manage gate lists, training, and credentials. You can contact her directly at acardino@delawarenorth.com for any related inquiries.
My cell phone number (716-243-0827) will remain active but will be left in the office for Mark and Stephanie to share as needed.
Thank you all for your continued support and understanding. It’s been a pleasure working with each of you, and I look forward to seeing you all in August!

In 1915, brothers Marvin, Charles and Louis Jacobs took the first step toward realizing the American dream of their immigrant parents by establishing a popcorn and peanuts vending business in Buffalo, N.Y. Through hard work, dedication and creative thinking, that small business has grown into one of the largest and most successful hospitality companies in the world.
The arc of our story spans generations and industries, but threaded throughout has been the kind of insight that’s allowed us to see into what fans crave, travelers need and people desire. It’s been a century. The legacy endures today through Chairman Jeremy Jacobs; a son of one of the founding Jacobs brothers – and his three sons, who are all company chief executive officers.
In 2015, we celebrated the entrepreneurial spirit of the Jacobs family and ushered in the next century of dynamic growth and success.
