Support Kids Night Out with the Texas Tornado
The Texas Tornado in association with the Mike Modano Foundation, will be opening their doors to underprivileged children's charities across the DFW metroplex for the first annual Kid's Night Out during the home game on Friday, December 3, 2005, against the Wichita Falls Wildcats. For many of these children, the opportunity to attend a sporting event will be a unique experience that will provide memories of a lifetime. For as little as $100.00, along with a matching donation from the Tornado, you can provide a special night for DFW area children. Among the local groups the Tornado will invite to Kids Night Out are those serving children through family resource centers and at risk children attending after school programs. We invite you to help in our effort to provide disadvantaged children with the opportunity to experience the live action that accompanies Texas Tornado Hockey, so please join the Texas Tornado coaches, players and front office in sponsoring local youth to attend a Tornado game. For more information on sponsoring children to a Tornado game, please call the Tornado office at: (972) 335-9800, and thank you for helping make the first annual Kid's Night Out a success!
