Since 2007, Boeing has proudly stood at the 50-yard line of Washington’s greatest football rivalry—the Boeing Apple Cup—straddling UW Husky purple and WSU Cougar crimson. At the 117th matchup in Pullman on Sept. 20, Boeing hosted 250 employees and their families, creating unforgettable memories rooted in tradition and pride.
Katelynn Rose, operations procurement agent, BCA supply chain, based in Auburn, was among those in attendance. For Rose and her family, it was more than just a game.
“It was my son’s dream to go to a Huskies game,” Rose said. “He loves the Huskies and even has a Huskies-themed bedroom.” Thanks to Boeing’s continued sponsorship and support, that dream came true in a way they say they’ll never forget.
Boeing’s presence at the game extended well beyond the stands. Alumni executives joined in the coin toss, halftime interviews, and trophy presentation, representing Boeing’s deep ties to both universities.
“We have more employees in Washington than anywhere else in the world, and thousands of those teammates are UW and WSU graduates, just like I am,” shared Steven Chisholm, vice president and chief engineer for Boeing mechanical and structural engineering. “Our future in Washington is very bright, and this great rivalry is one way we invest in that future.”
