Online tickets benefits charities

October 24, 2005 - American Basketball Association (ABA) News Release


Indianapolis, IN. As announced last week, tickets to ABA games in most cities are now available on abaonlinetickets.com and that a donation will be made to the charity of your choice with each ticket purchased. According to Joe Newman, ABA CEO, "We've received calls from many fan asking if their donations were tax-deductible. The answer is yes. The portion going to your charity is deductible. You will receive a confirmation by email that you can include with your tax return as a donation to charity should you so choose.

Newman added, "We are very pleased with the early response to abaonlineticket sales as there are so many good causes. Because of the emphasis on hurricane relief, we tend to forget that there are so many worthy causes, including Pakistan earthquake victims, tsunami relief, reseach for a wide variety of diseases, as well as contributions to youth organizations like YMCAs, Boys & Girls Clubs, Junior Achievement etc. And it's such a painless way of giving. A very affordable ticket for a terrific basketball game and entertainment. And a way to do some good too."

To order tickets online, simply click through to abaonlinetickets.com and following instructions. For for moreinformation, visit www.abalive.com. -
