CHEER FOR KIDS
EDMONTON ESKIMOS CHARITY TICKET PROGRAM
Join Kids Up Front in giving a BIG, LOUD, CHEER for the Edmonton Eskimos and Full Back, Graeme Bell for inviting Kids to Commonwealth Stadium to share the experience of live CFL football action as fans in the stands!
Kids Up Front is proud to team up with the Esks’ tradition of excellence to deliver the Esks’ Charity Ticket Program! The Esks, their corporate partners and season ticket holders will enable an average of 400 kids to attend each and EVERY home game to cheer for the ‘green & gold’ during the 2010 CFL Season.
GRAEME BELL
“Our goal this year is to fill even more seats with hopeful eyes. Sometimes the healthy memory or the positive pick up that a single ticket provides can be a turning point to inspiring dreams, comforting a void, or motivating kids to do more with what they have. I encourage all Eskimo supporters to try and be a part of something that transforms a day, and potentially an individual.” GRAEME BELL

If you would like to sponsor season tickets for Kids, please contact the Rush organization directly.
“Getting to see the RUSH came at a time when we could use some kindness.” [The RUSH organization's] generosity was a good energy booster and restored our hope again in life…plus it was a good spot for my kids and me to yell at the top of our lungs-getting rid of every frustration!” From A MOM OF FOUR YOUNG RUSH FANS
If sometime during the upcoming season you can’t use your Rush tickets, please give them to a Kid who can and add a Kids Kombo to let your fan visit the concession. GO RUSH and thanks for supporting Kids!
EDMONTON OILERS and EDMONTON OIL KINGS SEATS FOR KIDS PROGRAMS 2010
Thanks to the generosity of the Edmonton Oilers Charitable Foundation and numerous Oilers and Oil Kings season ticket holders, more than 1000 kids and families were granted the “chance of a lifetime” to visit Rexall Place to cheer for their local hockey heroes!
Getting the chance to watch the Oilers, in particular, creates such excitement for the young people that are granted tickets through the Kids Up Front Foundation. When you read about the positive effect an Oilers hockey game had on a young man, all fans can be reminded that–win or lose–we cannot discount the power of an Oilers hockey experience!
