Tulsa 66ers News Release
TULSA, Okla., December 20, 2006 - The Tulsa 66ers and Sonic Drive-In are partnering to sponsor an underwear and sock drive to benefit the Laura Dester Shelter, 2006-07 Official Charity of the 66ers. Donations of new underwear and socks for youth, ages 2-18, will be collected this week at various locations.
The Laura Dester Children's Shelter is an emergency temporary shelter for children in Oklahoma who have been removed from their homes due to abuse, neglect, and/or abandonment. The shelter provides children a safe haven until they can be placed in a secure and healthy environment. Last year, nearly 1,600 Oklahoma children were placed within the facility.
Each person to donate an unopened package of youth underwear or socks will get 50 percent off a regularly-priced ticket in the corner or sideline area at the Dec. 22 - Dec. 23 Tulsa 66ers home games. Donors will also receive a coupon from Sonic for a free Sonic burger with the purchase of a regularly priced Sonic burger.
"Sonic is pleased to partner with the Tulsa 66ers to donate clothing to the Laura Dester Shelter," said Jason Srader, local Sonic Restaurants, Inc. Marketing Manager . "Please stop by Sonic and make a difference in a child's life today."
The Tulsa 66ers will host the Bakersfield Jam on Friday, Dec. 22 at 7 p.m. and the Anaheim Arsenal on Saturday, Dec. 23 at 6 p.m. On Saturday, the first 1,066 fans will receive a 66ers holiday ornament.
