Tampa Bay Storm initiates “Seats for Soldiers” program
TAMPA BAY – In conjunction with Military Appreciation Night, Saturday, May 25th, the Tampa Bay Storm will provide a ticket package that benefits local military heroes and provides a way to give back via a program called “Seats for Soldiers.”
“We have a strong military presence in the Tampa Bay community,” said Storm president Derrick Brooks. “We are proud to support the men and women who ensure our safety. This is a way for us to give back to those who sacrifice so much for us.”
The “Seats for Soldiers” program gives local businesses and individuals the opportunity to choose from one of three sponsorship packages that will send military personnel, and their families, from MacDill Air Force Base and the local Coast Guard chapters, to the May 25th Tampa Bay Storm game versus the Philadelphia Soul.
The sponsorship packages range between $250 and $1,500. As much as 20 percent of the sponsorship will be donated to the Coalition to Salute America’s Heroes. Additionally, each sponsorship package will provide tickets, ranging from 20 to 100, to military personnel enabling them attend the game.
All sponsors will receive tickets for the May 25th matchup, and will be recognized on Lightning Vision during the game.
Tickets will be distributed on base.
