Rockford Lightning News Release
Rockford, IL- When the Rockford Lightning take on the Michigan Mayhem on Sunday, February 27, they will be backed by 100 young fans. Lightning Head Coach Chris Daleo has made a donation of 100 tickets to Monroe Center School, where his six-year old daughter Maris is a student. A group had originally had the tickets, but they were returned, so Daleo donated the tickets to the school as part of the Rockford Lightning's "Send-A-Kid" program.
"These games are important and we need all the help we can get. I know the students at Monroe Center School are loyal to the Lightning, and I hope that they will be our sixth man," says Daleo. Rockford and Michigan will tip-off the game at 3:05 p.m. on that Sunday afternoon at the Rockford MetroCentre.
Rockford returns to action on Tuesday night, as they host the Western Conference's Idaho Stampede at 7:05 p.m. All kids 12 and under with a paying adult will be half-price tickets, with the lovely and talented Rockford Lightning Girls dance team to perform at halftime. Rockford then hosts the team they are chasing for first in the CBA's Eastern Conference, the Great Lakes Storm, on Wednesday, February 23 at 7:05 p.m Be one of the first 1,000 fans to receive a Sidney Holmes player poster, and all kids tickets will be half-price. To order your tickets, give the MetroCentre Box Office a call at 815-968-5222.
