Pack the Jack for Saturday’s Basketball Doubleheader

Trojan Athletics is offering half-price tickets for all members of the UALR campus community – a giant “thank you” for reaching the 2008 Campus Campaign goal. Last month, the campaign reached its goal of 50 percent participation, reaching the end of the year with 53 percent participation. This achievement prompted Trojan Athletics to discount tickets for the Saturday, Jan. 17, men’s and women’s games against Middle Tennessee. Tickets for all University employees and their guests will be half-price. “This will be a wonderful way to celebrate reaching our goal,” said Campus Campaign Chair Cindy Milazzo. “Thanks to Athletics and Chris Peterson, we’ll have a Campus Campaign Night at Jack Stephens for the doubleheader against Middle Tennessee.” Bob Denman, UALR’s executive director of development, said the rate of participation of our faculty and staff in the Campus Campaign makes a significant difference when external major donors and potential donors are asked to make a financial commitment to UALR. “Donors and potential donors to our comprehensive campaign – It’s Time for UALR – are impressed by how many of our faculty and staff believe in UALR’s mission enough to make a charitable contribution toward the mission,” Denman said. “There are many worthy organizations asking for money; we are only one. Our faculty and staff participation in campus giving helps us stand out from the crowd.”
