Stingers, Kids Up Front Launch Basketball For All

The Edmonton Stingers are excited to announce the launch of the Basketball For All program in partnership with Kids Up Front. Through this program, sponsors are able to purchase ticket donation packages to send deserving kids and their families to a Stingers game this summer.

"Basketball is growing in popularity amongst Edmonton's youth at a massive rate," said Stingers Vice President Andreas Morse. "The Edmonton Stingers want every kid in the City to have the opportunity to watch the game played at the highest level possible. By partnering with Kids Up Front for our third season we can ensure that every child who wants to be a fan can enjoy the game live at The Hive cheering on their Edmonton Stingers."

Basketball For All is about providing youth with enriching and fun experiences. Supporting this program means supporting youth engagement in sport by sending kids to a professional basketball game. The Stingers are proud to be able to provide an exciting environment to grow the future of Canadian basketball by helping kids make amazing memories and enjoy the sport that they love. Ticket packages can be purchased by contacting the Stingers head office at (905)-577-3440 and ejeffrey@thestingers.ca. Donors are able to purchase one of three ticket packages: 50 tickets for $1,000, 124 tickets for $2,500, and 250 tickets for $5,000.

"We’re thrilled to grow our relationship with the Edmonton Stingers," said Kids Up Front Edmonton CEO Javier Salazar. "We want to give more kids the opportunity to enjoy basketball. We don’t just send kids to basketball games. We connect them to the world of sports – to athletes, to the energy of cheering crowds, to a stadium as big as their dreams.  This will give families the opportunity to spend quality time together, and create memories that will last for years to come.” The Stingers are thrilled to partner with Kids Up Front to provide kids with the experiences they deserve.
