Children served by the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kentuckiana program will benefit when University of Louisville football fans donate day-after-Thanksgiving tickets at The Neutral Zone, 117 Blankenbaker Parkway. Tickets to the University of Louisville/Rutgers game can be dropped off at the store between November 17 and November 24. The tickets will be used for an outing by Little Brothers and Little Sisters, and their adult volunteer mentors.
Fans who donate their tickets will also receive a 25 percent discount from The Neutral Zone on the day of their donation. The store sells University of Louisville and University of Kentucky fan merchandise. Representatives from Big Brothers Big Sisters will be at the store November 24 to greet and thank ticket donors, and will be featured on WKRD 790 AM as guests on sports-radio host’s Drew Deener’s show airing from 7 a.m. – 10 a.m.
“We’re so thankful for this idea, which will let U of L fans heading out of town Thanksgiving weekend make a great day for local kids in need,” says Kristin Milosevich, partnership development manager for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kentuckiana. “And they’ll get a discount to help with their holiday shopping, thanks to the kindness of the people at The Neutral Zone.”
