– Your group gets a specified amount of tickets for a designated Logger home game
– Your group sells the tickets to family, friends, neighbors and/or businesses to help raise money that your group needs
– Your group will receive special recognition during your “fundraising” game, in which a Loggers representative will make a special presentation of the “check” during the designated Loggers home game
**All profits and unsold tickets must be turned back in to the Loggers office 10 days before the designated game, and the Loggers will then perform the check presentation during your scheduled game.
