Lehigh Valley Phantoms News Release
Lehigh Valley, Pa. - The Lehigh Valley Phantoms are proud to honor and thank all the brave men and women who protect and keep the Lehigh Valley safe as we host First Responders Night on March 13, 2019 when the Phantoms play the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins at 7:05pm.
"We really wanted to hold this night as a way to say thank you to all the brave men and women who work tirelessly to keep our community safe and to honor them at a Phantoms game." - said Lehigh Valley Phantoms Executive Vice President, Chris Porreca.
Fans can help us thank our first responders through one of our three special First Responder packages available for the night. Tickets from each package will be given to local police, fire, and emergency medical services personnel departments and their families to come out and relax and enjoy some Phantoms hockey. Packages include complimentary tickets as a thank you for your purchase, as well as the opportunity to receive a specialty first responder jersey or an autographed puck with your purchase. Purchasers will be recognized on the video board during the game as well as the website and Phantoms app for their contribution and support.
First responder vehicles will be at the PPL Center entrances when you arrive at the game so you can take your picture with a real local police car or ambulance.
Various first responder organizations will have table displays spread throughout the concourse with information on their groups.
