Philadelphia Soul News Release
PHILADELPHIA (July 5, 2012) - The Eastern Division Champion Philadelphia Soul (13-3) and Xfinity Live! will host the World's Largest Flip Cup Game for charity Sunday, July 8 at Xfinity Live! before their game against the Spokane Shock.
The flip cup game was initiated as a way to collect as many Red Solo Cups as possible for the Solo Cup Brigade, the Soul's Community Service Initiative for the game July 8.
Proceeds from the cups purchased and turned in will go to the Wilford Hall Fisher House.
The Wilford Hall Fisher House is a home-away-from-home for families of seriously ill or injured service men and women receiving treatment at the Wilford Hall Ambulatory Surgical Center, San Antonio Military Medical Center or other medical facilities in the San Antonio Area.
To participate in the game players can either donate $1 to receive a Red Solo Cup or bring their own RSC to donate (only Red Solo Cups are valid). Red Solo Cups will be available to the first 500 registrants. Registration will begin at noon outside of Victory Beer Hall where participants will be designated to one of two teams.
In addition to the entry fee donation, the Soul and Xfinity Live! will turn in the Red Solo Cups to Terra Cycle who will give up to $0.10 per cup collected for one large donation to the Wilford Hall Fisher House.
Water will be provided for the game and beer can be used if purchased from Xfinity Live!
After the game is over, participants are invited to stick around and tailgate all the way up to the Soul game at 6:05 p.m. against the Spokane Shock and drop off your Red Solo Cups as you enter the arena to watch the game. The Red Solo Cups will be collected at the Broad St. and 11th St. entrances.
