This will be a long post, so please take a second to expand for details on: 1) Raising money for Dallas police & firefighters' families affected by last night's shooting, 2) Raising money for your own charity, 3) Our free giveaway of MLB merch, 4) Our raffle for 2 tickets to our Rangers Party Suite, and 5) updates about an additional tax write off for buying a ticket.
1) Our hearts and minds are with all those affected by the tragic events the last few days. In light of the shooting in Dallas, we will be dedicating a portion of the proceeds from our Night at the Ballpark to a local charity (The RMS Listener Foundation - http://kegl.iheart.com/articles/rms-listener-foundation-459720/help-families-of-fallen-dfw-police-10197389/), which is dedicated to supporting the families of fallen Dallas Police Officers and Fire Fighters. Enter the special code 4DAL during checkout (or send an email to [email protected] with your name and the code) when you make a purchase related to our event and we'll donate $10 for a full ticket and $2 for each raffle ticket sold. Or, you can skip the middle man and make a donation directly to them, which would be just fine.
2) Similarly, if you are currently raising money for a charity cause, send us a direct message including a link to your fund raising page and we will set up a unique code for you and/or your friends to use as well. We'll make the same contribution as specified above for each sale with your unique code shortly after the event.
3) Help us spread the word and you'll automatically be entered in our drawing(s) to give away some nice Rangers merchandise (or another team of your choosing). Share this post on your Facebook feed and you'll be included in the selection - we'll do at least one give away, more if there is enough response.
4) Speaking of give aways, we are just a week away from our raffle which will award 2 suite tickets and a parking pass to the winner(s). A single raffle ticket is just $5 and could get you and a friend in to enjoy our party suite with food and drinks included … it'd almost be like getting it all for free! You can also net 5 raffle tickets for $20 if you want to up your chances of winning. Raffle tickets will be on sale until 7/15 and the drawing will be held 7/16 so time is becoming short if you want in.
5) Our final point requires a just bit of clarification, so bare with us for a second. When we first priced this event out, we backed in to the individual ticket prices based on our total costs, which included the suite tickets, parking passes, and catering options. When our suite tickets arrived last week, we noticed that the tickets' face value was only $30, as they weren't factoring in the other costs, just the actual seats. SO, what that means for anyone who buys/bought a full-price suite ticket @ $80 is that you will now be able to claim the $50 difference as a tax write off!
Ok, that was a lot of info all in one post. Thank you if you took the time to read all the way thru. We're really excited about the event and hope you can help us make it our biggest one ever!
