Maple Grove Resident Featured in Minnesota Timberwolves Commercial

Jennifer Palmer of Maple Grove was featured in a recent Minnesota Timberwolves commercial.

Palmer, a season ticket holder of 13 years, was selected to participate in one of the four television advertisements featured as part of the Wolves’ “Get Closer” season ticket membership campaign. Palmer spent the afternoon with Wolves center Nikola Pekovic filming the commercial that will debut Friday, March 15 when the Wolves play the Houston Rockets.

A "big fan" for 13 years, Palmer said she regularly attends Timberwolves events in addition to the games - stating the staff goes "above and beyond" to make fans feel like family. It was through those connections with Timberwolves staff that led to her appearing in the commerical.

"It was a great experience," Palmer said of shooting the advertisement."Nothing was scripted - it was just him and I talking."

The commercial will continue to run during Wolves games and other local programming throughout March. Palmer was chosen from more than 10,000 Wolves season ticket members to participate in the commercial.

The Wolves launched their new “Get Closer” campaign which talks about Wolves’ fans “unique ability” to get close to the Wolves players and organization through memberships, according to Timberwolves Public Relations Associate Ashley Carlson.
