Green Bay Gamblers News Release
Saturday, November 12 at the Resch Center is the Green Bay Gamblers 5th Annual Military Appreciation Night. All active and retired military personnel receive a complimentary ticket.
Gamblers will wear military inspired helmets and jerseys. Proceeds from the post-game helmet and jersey auction donated to the local chapter of Disabled American Veterans.
In 2014, Gamblers head coach Pat Mikesch began Goals for the Military. For each goal scored by the Gamblers on Military Appreciation Night, Mikesch donated $100 to the DAV. This season Mikesch along with 17 other businesses and individuals will be taking part.
Last year, the game drew 5,777 fans as the Gamblers blanked the Bloomington Thunder 2-0. Game raised $25,000 for the DAV.
"The money raised allows the DAV to fund different projects in northeast Wisconsin," says Gamblers Sales Manager/Media Relations Director Jason Habeck. "These programs include their transportation program, honor guard, and involvement with local veterans who have significant issues. It's great to see the communities of Northeast Wisconsin support such a worthy cause."
Start time between the Gamblers and Dubuque Fighting Saints is set for 7:05 PM. It's also a Festival Foods Family Night- $2 hotdogs and $2 sodas. Kids 14 and under get a $5 discount in the $18, $16 and $14 sections. Purchase tickets.
