Texas Legends Honor Defenders of Freedom

July 1, 2010 - NBA G League (G League)
Texas Legends News Release


FRISCO - From the outset, the Legends have been inspired by the legendary men and women of Texas. Now, the Legends are offering a Texas-sized thank you to the true Legends - those who protect, serve, and defend our country.

"The name 'Texas Legends' is a tribute to the men and women who have made our great state what it is today," owner Donnie Nelson said upon bestowing the name Legends upon his team. "We celebrate those who've sacrificed greatly and achieved the honorable."

With Independence Day on its way, the Texas Legends, in partnership with InTouch Credit Union, look to continue that celebration by offering special pricing to all members of the armed forces, police, and fire - currently serving as well as retired - and their families on season ticket packages.

"In honor of our independence and those who've sacrificed and served to make this the greatest nation on earth," Nelson commented. "We will offer an exclusive $4 (Happy 4th of July!) per game season ticket package to the families of those who've served in either the military, police, or fire. I cannot think of a better way to celebrate our country's birthday! Thank you for making us safe and proud!"

The Legends have already sold more than 13,000 tickets for their inaugural season, and have surged to the top tier of the D-League in ticket sales. Beginning now until July 16, a limited number of reserved seat season ticket packages will be available to any and all members of the armed forces, firefighters, police officers and their families at $96.

"As we enjoy our 4th of July holiday, we are grateful for the men and women of our military, police and fire departments whom have protected us and our independence -- now that's what I call legendary!" Texas Legends co-owner Evan Wyly said. "We are pleased to offer this special value in appreciation for their service."

Through this Independence Day special, InTouch Credit Union and the Legends hope to give back to the community by honoring the members of the military, police, and fire departments as well as their respective families.

"InTouch Credit Union is honored to acknowledge the gallantry of men and women who proudly serve our community and country, and patriotically supports the Legends' special offer in recognition of their service." InTouch Credit Union President and CEO Kent Lugrand commented.

This special Independence Day offer can be purchased by calling the Texas Legends offices 1-214-469-0822, or by emailing info@TexLegends.com . Mention the "Independence Day Special" for access to this exclusive offer.
