Milwaukee Wave United News Release
(Milwaukee, WI) Milwaukee Wave United, the Wave's A-League (outdoor) team announced today that a portion of proceeds from specially discounted tickets for the Friday, September 5 playoff game at Uihlein Soccer Park (7:35 PM v. the Minnesota Thunder) will be donated to the "Huey Fund," a fund that has been established to assist former Rampage star Mike Huwiler with the expenses of his medical treatment and recovery.

Specially discounted tickets at $12 apiece are available through the Wave Office by calling 414-224-WAVE (9283) and mentioning the "Huey Fund." (Regularly priced tickets are $14.) The game against the arch-rival Thunder is Game One of the two-game total goal series which will conclude on Sunday, September 7, 5:05 PM at the National Sports Center in Blaine, MN.
"Mike is an important figure in the Milwaukee soccer community and we want to do what we can to help this special cause," said Wave Vice-President of Ticket Sales Doug Gole. "This is a great opportunity for Milwaukee fans to see a terrific game and help out the âHuey Fund' at the same time."
