Manchester Wolves News Release
MANCHESTER, N.H. (April 22, 2004) - The Manchester Wolves, New England's exciting new professional football team, is proud to announce they have teamed up with the National Association of Letter Carriers to help the organization in their efforts to "Stamp Out Hunger."
As a special prelude to the 12th annual NALC National Food Drive on Saturday, May 8, the Wolves will be holding their own food drive outside the Verizon Wireless Arena prior to their next home game on Friday, April 30 against the Albany Conquest.
All fans need to do to help the cause is bring their non-perishable food donations to the game and deposit them into a special food truck which will be located outside the Verizon Wireless Arena. As an added incentive to contribute, everyone who donates food that night (Friday, April 30) will automatically be entered into a random drawing to win the "Lay-Z-Boy Fan Upgrade of the Game." The fan upgrade of the game is a prized promotion where a select group of fans gain entrance into a special seating section that is ultra comfortable and extra close to the action.
"We hope our fans and the general public respond to this event because it's a truly worthwhile cause," Wolves General Manager Angelo Mazzella said. "We're honored and glad to be able to help the NALC in any way we can."
An estimated 30 million people face hunger every day in America, including more than 12 million children. The NALC's annual food drive is one way people can help those right in their own city or town who need help. In 2003, the drive provided 61.7 million pounds of food for the needy, including a 1 million pound donation of canned food from Campbell Soup.
So join the Wolves for their next home game on Friday, April 30 against the Albany Conquest at the Verizon Wireless Arena. Kick-off for this event is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. and all fans through the doors will receive a FREE Manchester Wolves touchdown towel, courtesy of C.R. Sparks, Cool 96.5 and AAA. To get in the game, purchase your tickets today at the Verizon Wireless Arena box office or through Ticketmaster at 603-868-7300, at Ticketmaster outlets or online at www.ticketmaster.com. Adult seats start as low as $14 in the upper bowl while youth (12-and-under) and senior (65-and-over) tickets start at just $9.50.
