Indiana Ice News Release


INDIANAPOLIS - The Indiana Ice is proud to present the 12th annual Key Bank "Pack the House for Charity Night " on Saturday, February 25 when the Ice face the Des Moines Buccaneers at 7 p.m. from Conseco Fieldhouse.

For the 12th consecutive year the Indiana Ice is looking to benefit the people of greater Indianapolis by holding "Pack the House Night for Charity". The local beneficiaries of the event are the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation-Indiana Chapter, the Muscular Dystrophy Family Foundation and St. Vincent Children's Hospital.

An annual treat that evening is the Ice players will be wearing a special commemorative jersey designed by the children of St. Vincent Children's Hospital. Fans can bid on their favorite player's jersey with proceeds benefiting the hospital.

"Pack the House Night" was started in the 1994-95 season as a way for the Ice to give back to Central Indiana. The Ice partners with local organizations to help them raise money for their cause. These organizations receive a portion of all ticket sales for the night generated by their efforts in addition to a generous grant.

Last year's "Pack the House" night drew a USHL record crowd of 14,892 and helped raise over $26,000 for four deserving Indianapolis charities.

Tickets for the game are available at all Ticketmaster locations including select Marsh Supermarkets, Karma Records, select L.S. Ayres, and the Indiana State Fairgrounds and Conseco Fieldhouse box offices or by calling (317) 239-5151 or online at ticketmaster.com.
