February 5, 2010 - Indoor Football League (IFL) - La Crosse Spartans News Release
La Crosse, WI: As the NFL's season culminates this Sunday with the Super Bowl in Miami, the expansion La Crosse Spartans 2010 campaign has just begun. This weekend the team, front office, and coaching staff will be participating in a series of charity events throughout the La Crosse community and encourage all of their fans to attend.
Spartans "Super" Weekend kicks off on Friday evening as the teams front office staff will be participating in the Relay for Life at UW-La Crosse's Mitchell Field House. The goal is to raise money for the American Cancer Society, a task the staff has already begun in raising over $1,000 in pre-event donations. Fun and games in support of the organization begin at 6pm and last until 6am the following morning.
On Saturday, Spartans players will be competing against local celebrities from the La Crosse Radio Group and PRTV in a charity basketball game at Onalaska High School.

Game time is scheduled for 11 am with tickets for Adults costing $4, and child tickets going for $2. Local band T.U.G.G. will also be performing. The Spartans recommend that fans arrive early to obtain seats closest to the action.
Finally, on Sunday, the team will be at Buffalo Wild Wings in Onalaska for the restaurants annual Super Bowl party. The Spartans players, coaches, and dance team will be on hand to raffle off team prize packages and even an autographed Gilbert Brown football during the nights festivities.
The Spartans family hopes to see the entire community this "Super" weekend to help support these great causes. In addition, the team would like to thank the over 2,200 fans who attended last Friday's first-ever Family Night. The event featured games, live music, prizes, autograph signings and much more.
