Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs News Release
BOSSIER CITY, LA - As part of next week ¬â¢s 2011 "Pink in the Rink" weekend, the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs are pleased to announce plans for our first-ever "Bugs 4 Jugs" 5K walk. The walk is set for 10:00 am on Saturday, February 26 in the CenturyTel Center parking lot and will help us raise even more money for the local affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure!
As we embark on our second-annual "Pink in the Rink" with home games next Thursday against Bloomington (6:35 pm) and next Saturday vs. Texas (7:05 pm), "Bugs 4 Jugs" adds a whole new element to our breast cancer awareness efforts. The walk will take place in the parking lot on the South side of the CenturyTel Center, with parking available on the North side of the building.
"We wanted to expand on ¬ËPink in the Rink ¬â¢ this year by adding a new element, and we ¬â¢re really excited about getting the community involved in the 'Bugs 4 Jugs' walk," said General Manager Jason Campbell. "Now in addition to the games on Thursday and Saturday, we ¬â¢re giving people another chance to show their support for this great cause and help raise money for the local Komen affiliate. I ¬â¢d like to encourage our fans to bring their families and friends out for a great time next Saturday morning and then help us pack the CenturyTel Center for the game Saturday night!"
Registration for the event is available now for a cost of $30.00 per person, 25% of which will be donated directly to the Northwest Louisiana affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Additionally, registration includes one ticket to Saturday ¬â¢s game against the Brahmas and a "Bugs 4 Jugs" t-shirt. Children five and under can participate for free and additional tickets for registrants can be purchased for $16.00 each.
Late registration opens at 8:30 on the morning of the event and runs right until the walk begins at 10:00. If you are not available to attend the walk but would still like to be a part of "Bugs 4 Jugs", t-shirts are available for purchase at a cost of $15.00 each.
