The Kansas City Wizards are teaming up with American Family Insurance for Breast Cancer Awareness Month activities surrounding this weekend's match against the New England Revolution. The Young Survival Coalition (YSC) will be the main beneficiary of that night's events, but all Breast Cancer Awareness groups are encouraged to take advantage of a special fundraising opportunity through Wizards tickets. The game kicks off Saturday at 7 p.m. CT at CommunityAmerica Ballpark.
As part of the game-day experience, fans will be able to purchase pink soccer balls and pins with proceeds going to YSC. Wizards goalkeeper Kevin Hartman will also wear a pink jersey for the match that the Wizards will sell via auction at www.kcwizards.com. American Family Insurance will match the final sale price, and all proceeds will be donated to YSC. In addition, American Family has purchased 50 tickets for the match and donated them so that a group from YSC can attend free of charge. They will also sponsor a halftime "Kicks for Cancer" competition, with money donated to YSC for every shot made by a fan participant.
While YSC are the primary beneficiaries of the evening's events, any Breast Cancer Awareness organization can take part in a special ticket promotion. Through the deal, a portion of proceeds of tickets purchased through an organization will be donated by the Wizards to help fundraising efforts.
Contact Wizards Community Relations Manager Erin Lawless at elawless@kcwizards.com or (913) 387-3424 to take part in this special fundraising opportunity.
