Salute Our Military and First Responders Creighton U. vs. Nevada U. baseball game at TD Ameritrade Park. 2pm Saturday, May 9th.
Attached is the process for how WDCCC members can receive a block of no-cost reserved seat tickets.
Event Sponsors: Veterans in Business Forum and First Responders Foundation.
Why the event?
- Most people want to say to all who serve or have served, ?Thank You! You are honored! You are remembered; not forgotten!? And to say to the Families of the Fallen, ?We are sorry for your loss.? Your loved one is honored and remembered; not forgotten. Think of it as a civics lesson for how to be a responsible citizen with cherished freedoms.
- The game and related activities gives people that opportunity in a large scale, easy, meaningful, no-cost way. Attendance the past 3 years has been just over 14,000. 24K strong would be a Guinness Book of records crowd.
