Idaho Stampede News Release
BOISE, Idaho, December 3, 2013 - The Idaho Stampede Community Foundation has donated 1,040 tickets to over 260 foster families in Idaho as part of the GivingTuesday movement. Each family will receive four tickets to the team's next home game on Friday, December 27, courtesy of Stampede season ticket holders and the Stampede ownership group.
With the help of the Idaho Department of Health and Soroptimist International of Boise, the Stampede were able to identify deserving families for the donation.
"A national movement centered around a day to give to the local community fits right in line with our Community Foundation." said Stampede Team President Steve Brandes. "We hope these families enjoy a fun night thanks to our fans who underwrote the tickets."
GivingTuesday is a movement to create a national day of giving to start the holiday season on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The second annual GivingTuesday is on December 3, 2013. In the same way that retail stores take part in Black Friday, this initiative brings communities together to give to those in need.
The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare's programs and services are designed to help people live healthy and be productive, strengthening individuals, families and communities. From birth throughout life, they help people improve their lives. For more information about the Department of Health, visit healthandwelfare.idaho.gov.
As the first professional sports team to establish a foundation in this state in 2003, The Idaho Stampede is committed to providing programs and opportunities that help "even the score" for disadvantaged youth. The Foundation has given back over one million dollars in cash, goods & services and in-kind donations through over seven hundred plus community outreach events.
