GREEN BAY (WLUK) -- A longtime trainer, ticket seller and broadcaster will be honored at this year's Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame induction banquet.

The hall of fame announced the recipients of its Bob Harlan Leadership Award, Bart and Cherry Starr Recognition Award and Bud Lea Media Award.

Former trainer and director of sports medicine administration Pepper Burruss will receive the Bob Harlan Leadership Award. Burruss spent 26 of his 42 years in the NFL with the Packers, beginning in 1992. Burruss was credited with modernizing the Packers' medical operation. He also worked on NFL initiatives involving player care and safety.

Burruss was named the NFL Physicians Society's Outstanding NFL Athletic Trainer in 2012 and will receive a 2025 Pro Football Hall of Fame Award of Excellence in June.

Mark Wagner, the former leader of the Packers ticket office, will receive the Cherry Starr Recognition Award. The Door County native began working in the ticket office in 1977 and became director of ticket operations two years later. During his career, which ended in 2017, Wagner was credited with implementing Gold season ticket packages, the transition to online databases and implementing upgraded security protocols that reduced counterfeit tickets. During his career, more than 120,000 names were added to the season ticket waiting list.

Ted Moore will receive the Bud Lea Media Award. He was the Packers' radio voice from 1960-69, including calling the 1962 NFL Championship Game for NBC and Super Bowls I and II on the Packers Radio Network. Moore's 48-year broadcasting career in Wisconsin also included 23 years as the basketball play-by-play voice of the Wisconsin Badgers.

This year's induction ceremony is scheduled for Aug. 28 at the Lambeau Field Atrium. The hall of fame inductee will be retiring Packers president and CEO Mark Murphy.
