United Way Teams Up With Kelowna Falcons for Charity Game

The United Way of the Central and South Okanagan/Similkameen has teamed up with the Kelowna Falcons as part of its 2015 campaign.

A charity ball game will take place on July 8th, 2015 with all the proceeds going to the United Way. Dubbed “Falcons Play for United Way”, the night will also be in partnership with UBC Okanagan. Recently, the Nonis family donated $1,000 to the campaign and brought the charity ball game idea to the United Way. This unique partnership will enable the United Way to sell tickets and sponsorships for the game along with receiving the proceeds of the 50/50 draw.

“This year we’re looking for new and exciting ways to engage the community and we’re so excited that the Nonis family brought this opportunity to us”, says Shelley Gilmore, Executive Director of UW CSO. “This is another way to raise awareness and dollars to support kids, youth, families and seniors in our community”.

This family friendly game will see the Falcons vs. Klamath Falls and will also include a number of fun-filled attractions to entertain the crowd: a kid’s play area, fan participation events between innings, and finally a fireworks display to culminate the event.

Ticket sales will be held throughout the community or can be purchased online at: http://falconsplayforunitedway.eventbrite.ca. Call United Way CSO for more information: 250-860-2356 or email: info@unitedwaycso.com.
