Hoosier Ticket Project to Send 400 Indiana Fans to Washington Game

Families from Big Brothers Big Sisters and Boys and Girls Club chapters will be part of the sold-out crowd

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – More than 80 families with kids ages K-12 are headed to Memorial Stadium for this weekend’s sellout game, IU vs. Washington, thanks to a partnership between Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS), the Boys and Girls Club, and the Hoosier Ticket Project. The 3rd Annual Weekend at the Rock event will give many their first opportunity to attend an Indiana football game.

The nearly 400 participants are double what the Hoosier Ticket Project has sent in the previous two years, thanks to IU’s standout football season and the Ticket Project’s new partnership with the Boys and Girls Club.

“We couldn’t be more excited to send these kids and their families to such a momentous game in Indiana football history. Many of these fans will be experiencing Memorial Stadium for the first time, and what better way to do it than with a sellout crowd and College GameDay on campus,” said Josh Bruick, Hoosier Ticket Project CEO. “This would not be possible without our incredibly generous donors, like the Callahan Family Foundation, and everyone who supported this year’s record-setting Giving Blitz fundraiser.”

First-time fans may still request tickets for Indiana vs. Washington at HoosierTicketProject.org/request.
