Pack the House for Charity, Part 2

Very sorry for not getting this up on Wednesday, but the Bucks announced that afternoon that they will be hosting "Pack the House for Charity" night again for their first playoff game.

Obviously, they are unsure as of yet when that first game will be, but it could be as early as next Monday (March 23), so hopefully everyone can get out and buy tickets before then!

As with last year's event, Border Lease Services and Laredo Energy (majority owner Glenn Hart's company) have purchased all of the tickets to the game so that the Bucks can sell them for $5 apiece and give the entirety of the profits to the South Texas Food Bank and Sacred Heart Children's Home.

You can read my story from the press conference on Wednesday and my co-worker Nick Georgiou's story about the event last year, which resulted in $10,000 being donated to each charity.

These are obviously two great causes, and the tickets are just $5. I'm tempted to buy some myself, but I'd have no idea who to give them to, and just buying them and throwing them away defeats the purpose to an extent. Any suggestions?
