Patriots Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft announced on Monday, via press release, that longtime cheerleader director Tracy Sormanti has been selected for induction into the team’s Hall of Fame as a contributor.
Sormanti, who had been in her 32nd season of service with the Patriots, passed away at the age of 58 on Dec. 4, 2020 after a three-year battle with multiple myeloma. She is the first woman to earn induction into the Patriots Hall of Fame and becomes just the third person to be selected by the Kraft family as a contributor. As such, Sormanti will join Patriots founder Billy Sullivan (2009) and Gil Santos (2013), the longtime radio voice of the New England Patriots.
