Coaches vs. Cancer ticket deal benefits charity

UE has partnered with Deaconess Health System to offer discounted tickets to next week’s Coaches vs. Cancer games at the Ford Center and also give to charities.

Deaconess will donate $1 to charity for every ticket scanned at UE’s three Coaches vs. Cancer home games Nov. 15-17. Additionally, discounted tickets — $8 for adults, $5 for youth and $5 for upper-bowl seating — can be purchased starting Thursday at the Carson Center by mentioning one of the three participating charities: the American Cancer Society, TOUCH Inc. and Gilda’s Club Evansville.

Money goes toward a different charity at each of the three games – the American Cancer Society for Thursday’s game vs. Buffalo, TOUCH Inc. for Friday’s game vs. Yale and Gilda’s Club Evansville for Saturday’s game vs. Western Illinois.

Five hundred t-shirts will also be given away at each game as Deaconess accepts more donations.

This ticket deal goes along with another announced by the university that offers a Marty Simmons bobblehead with access to all Coaches vs. Cancer games at the Ford Center.
