See a Minnesota Twins game in their new stadium and support Cheerful Givers!
Minnesota Twins vs. Atlanta
June 12, 6:10 pm
Celebrate the 50th Season of baseball for the Twins in their New ballpark and a portion of ticket sales will be used to provide toy-filled birthday bags for children living in poverty
The Twins tell us they are expecting to sell out most, if not all, of the 2010 games in their new stadium. So we are pleased to have reserved 100 tickets to the Cheerful Givers game on Saturday, June 12 when the Twins take on Atlanta at 6:10 pm.
Tickets can be purchased for $26 and we will receive $5 (regular price is $27). They are “home plate view seats” in section 315. To purchase tickets please fill out this form (PDF). Encourage your contacts to order tickets soon!
Or you can save yourself the hassle of traffic and parking by riding a chartered bus leaving from the Chart House in Lakeville at 4:30 pm. $50 per person gets you both a Twins and round-trip bus ticket. Contact josh@charthouserestaurant.com to reserve your tickets today.
