If you’re a Hockey fan, I mean a REAL hockey fan you know that the best way to become a fan is to go to a game in person. Every single aspect of the game on and off the ice is part of the game experience. 50/50 raffles, the food, the sounds and feelings that occur when your favorite team scores a goal or wins the game. All of these experiences from going to a Hockey game, no matter what level of a hockey game you go to, carries on with you for the rest of your life.
However, not everyone gets to experience the joy of going to an NHL game let alone a hockey game. Especially the disadvantaged children of the Greater Phoenix area. Would you not like to offer the chance for a child who may not be able to get to experience a hockey game the chance to go?
The Phoenix Coyotes ‘Tickets for Kids’ campaign gives everyone the chance to donate tickets and suites to numerous Valley non-profit organizations. Why not give the gift of Hockey to kids who just might become life long fans? Who knows, perhaps that child will become the next Sidney Crosby or Wayne Gretzky? It all starts with you and your gift of a ticket to a Coyotes game!
“Last season, we were able to donate about 20,000 tickets through the Tickets for Kids program,” said Flavil Hampsten, vice president of ticket sales for the Coyotes.
Tickets are distributed to non-profit organizations that apply each year to the Coyotes front office. Among the organizations that have benefited from Coyotes Fans Generosity are:
- The Arizona Lost Boys Center
- Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Arizona
- Chicanos Por La Causa
- The Single Parents Association
- The Sojourner Center
“The Coyotes truly have some of the most loyal and generous fans in the league. This concept of fans giving back to fans is really inspiring to us,” added Hampsten.
