NORMAL, Ill. – Buffalo Wild Wings is partnering with Illinois State Athletics for the fourth-straight season, as the title sponsor of the “Honorary Ball Kid” program. Twenty honorary ball kids, for either a men’s or women’s basketball game, will be selected Wednesday, November 9 at 6 p.m.
Those interested in participating can visit the men’s or women’s basketball pages or the Reggie’s Kids Club page on GoRedbirds.com, complete the registration form, and return it to Buffalo Wild Wings at 3220 E. Empire in Bloomington. The registrants, who must be between the grades of 3-6, are also invited to enjoy a kid’s meal for $0.99 on the night of the drawing.
A special drawing will be held to declare the winners. Registration forms can also be picked up on site at Buffalo Wild Wings, or in the Reggie Fun Zones at Illinois State Athletics events. All forms must be returned to Buffalo Wild Wings by Nov. 9 at 5:59 p.m., to be eligible for the drawing. Winners must be present at the drawing to select his or her honorary game assignment. If not in attendance at the time of the drawing, the registrant’s game will be assigned if selected. They will also receive a free “Honorary Ball Kid” T-shirt, two free tickets to their designated game and other great perks.
Assistant Athletics Director for Marketing and Promotions Brad Ledford is excited to have Buffalo Wild Wings continue to be involved with the “Honorary Ball Kid” program.
“We are proud to partner once again with Buffalo Wild Wings for our continually growing ‘Honorary Ball Kids’ program, and thanks to both Buffalo Wild Wings and Redbird Athletics Assistant Marketing Director LB Nagle for their hard work during this process,” Ledford said. “This is a great way for kids in the local community to feel the excitement of game day at Redbird Arena, and get an up-close look at two exciting college basketball teams.”
