Amherst, NY. In an effort to support local community youth groups, the ABA Buffalo Rapids have dedicated the final game of their inaugural season as "Kids Rule," donating sponsored tickets to local youth groups. The event will be held at the Buffalo State College Sports Arena on Sunday, March 5th at 7pm.

The Rapids, in cooperation with local sponsors, are hoping to raise as much as $15,000 for local community youth groups through their "Kids Rule" effort. This will be the biggest event of the year for the Rapids, as they show their commitment to Buffalo with special promotional giveaways and activities for fans of all ages.

NBA Legend Darryl Dawkins and his Newark Express will face off against Coach Jacob and the Buffalo Rapids. Dubbed in recent news as "Plenty of fight on, off court," the Rapids are sure to deliver an intense game as they battle for a position in the ABA playoffs. For this special game, all UB students will have 50% discount on the ticket with their student ID.

The game time has been changed to 7pm.
