In the third year of our partnership with the Washington Mystics, a special night has been planned for us on Friday, July 28. All club presidents who have members attend the game will be recognized on the court in a special halftime ceremony. Also, the first 50 kids we recruit for the game will participate in a fan tunnel when the teams come on the court. It is a great opportunity for clubs to buy tickets for our Interact Club members.
This End Polio Now! Night will be held at 7:00 p.m. at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. Tickets for the game range from $20-40 depending on the section selected, with $3 per ticket going to Rotary’s PolioPlus program. It will be an exciting game against the Connecticut Sun. For groups of 10 or more, please contact Bobby Minnitte at (202) 292-1947 or rminnitte@monumentalsports.com.
Tickets for any other remaining home games can be purchased through the following link for individuals or groups up to 9 people: www.msesales.com/mystics/endpolio Promo Code: END POLIO. (PLEASE NOTE: Link cannot be accessed using Microsoft Explorer or Edge.) Please contact Bobby for groups of 10 or more. For tickets purchased online, all handling fees and service charges will apply.
