Special Presentation Will Be Made At The Contest

Veteran’s Appreciation Night sponsored by Fifth Third Bank will take place for Monday’s University of Evansville men’s basketball home opener versus Alcorn State.  It will be held in conjunction with the Military Warriors Support Foundation

All veterans and active military members and their family can receive $5 tickets to the game by presenting a valid Military ID at the Ford Center Box Office on game day.

At halftime, Military Warriors Support Foundation will be presenting a military veteran with a mortgage-free home in a very special presentation for their contributions.

“The donation of this property advances our efforts to provide and support to our nation’s heroes as they transition out of the military and into their new civilian life,” Andrea Dellinger, VP, Media and Marketing, Military Warriors Support Foundation said.  “Thanks in part to the contributions of partners like 7Up Snapple and Walmart, we are changing lives for the better, not just for members of our armed services and their families, but for generations that follow.”

The Military Warriors Support Foundation (MWSF) is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization whose mission is to provide support for our Nation’s combat wounded heroes and Gold Star Families as they transition out of the military and into their new civilian life. Its programs focus on housing and homeownership, employment, as well as recreational activities and travel assistance.
