The Minnesota Timberwolves in coordination with the McCabe foundation are hosting a Military Appreciation Game on 19 November at 7pm. The Minnesota National Guard has been provided limited opportunities for service members and their kids to participate in this game.
The Timberwolves and the McCabe Foundation have donated many tickets for the game to service members and veterans throughout the state. We will be sending out information on how your service members can get some of those tickets in the upcoming week.
In addition the Timberwolves have offered us the opportunity for up to 64 of our kids (ages 5-14) and 20 Service Members to be involved in the events of the game. I am looking for interested Service Members to volunteer themselves and/or their kids for the following opportunities:
– 24 Anthem Buddies/Pregame High Five Tunnel: Your child can stand with NBA players from the Timberwolves and the New York Knicks on the court during the National Anthem.
– 20 Pregame High Five Tunnel- An opportunity for your child to cheer on the Timberwolves and high five them as they enter the arena!
– 20 Half-time High Five Tunnel- An opportunity for your child to cheer on the Timberwolves and high five them as they enter the arena!
– 20 Soldiers or Airmen in ACU/MultiCam/ABUs to hold a giant American Flag at mid court during the National Anthem.
I will be filling these spots on a first come first serve basis. I will be accepting EMAIL SUBMISSIONS ONLY at: twolves.mil.kids@gmail.com
I will need the following information:
Name and Rank of Service Member/parent:
Phone#:
Email address:
Name of Child:
Age:
I will contact those that are selected to confirm that they will be participating and to confirm the ticket requirements for the family. I will be sending additional information as I have it regarding game day schedule. At this time plan an arrival of NLT 5:30 pm for those involved in the on court events.
