Chicago Fire FC News Release


BRIDGEVIEW, IL (May 21, 2007) - In an effort to help the Naperville Area Humane Society (NAHS), FireWorks for Kids, the charitable arm of the Chicago Fire, and 95.9 FM "The River" are partnering in a ticket sales promotion on Western Suburbs Night, June 3 (6:00 p.m., Comcast SportsNet) at TOYOTA PARK, as the Fire take on Eastern Conference foe, the Columbus Crew. A portion of the ticket sales from the game will be donated to assist the building of new facilities for the not-for-profit animal shelter, education and adoption agency.

For each Premier Seat ticket sold, Chicago Fire Soccer will donate $5 to the Naperville Area Humane Society. Additionally, 10-cents on every dollar of all ticket sales from the "The River" listening area - DuPage, Kane, Kendall, and Will counties - will also be donated. NAHS representatives will be present during the event - as well as two shelter dogs - to provide information on animal adoption options.

"The Chicago Fire and the FireWorks for Kids Foundation have been so supportive of us (the Naperville Area Humane Society) and the entire organization is so willing to give back to the community that it is inspiring, especially for someone in my position" said Linda Linford, Executive Director of the Naperville Area Humane Society.

The promotion will be just one aspect of the Western Suburbs Night and tribute to Naperville, Ill. as the Fire celebrate their two seasons in the Chicagoland suburb and honor those individuals who made the team's time in then-Cardinal Stadium a success. The night will include a special pre-game FireFest featuring two local bands, Firstreet from Naperville and Painkiller Hotel from Aurora, with Fire radio partner 95.9 FM "The River" broadcasting live from TOYOTA PARK. Also, a half-time recognition will highlight several of the many individuals who were instrumental in bringing the Fire to Cardinal Stadium and the Naperville community.
