Spirit giving tickets to GM, Delphi employees

The Saginaw Spirit, in conjunction with local Meijer stores, Frito Lay, Nabisco and Pepsi, are pleased to invite General Motors and Delphi employees and their immediate families to this Saturday’s home game against the Erie Otters.

These great community partners are providing tickets to GM and Delphi employees as a token of appreciation given the current state of affairs affecting the automotive manufacturing industry.

“The Saginaw Spirit is a community project,” stated Spirit president and partner Craig Goslin. “Our mid-Michigan community has many GM and Delphi families hurting today as a result of the current economic state of affairs concerning the automotive manufacturing industry. We are pleased to invite these families to join the Spirit and your local Meijer stores this Saturday night when the team takes on the Erie Otters at 7:11 p.m.”

GM and Delphi employees can show their identification badge at the team's ticket and merchandise store at 5789 State Street in Saginaw to receive complimentary upper level tickets to the game. Employees can also call 989-497-7747 or email Jon Schiebner at the Spirit and give their identification badge number to have tickets left at the TheDow Event Center will call booth the night of the game.

GM AND DELPHI EMPLOYEES MUST SHOW THEIR EMPLOYEE IDENTIFICATION BADGE AT THE SPIRIT STORE OR THE ARENA WILL CALL BOOTH - AFTER THEY HAVE PUT THEIR TICKETS ON HOLD VIA A PHONE OR EMAIL ORDER - TO RECEIVE THEIR COMPLIMENTARY TICKETS.

GM and Delphi employees that have already purchased tickets for this Saturday’s contest can visit the Spirit store this Friday or Saturday to receive complimentary upper level tickets to next Friday’s home game against the Windsor Spitfires. Deadline for ticket holders to receive this offer is tomorrow at 4:00 p.m.

To assist with this great offer, the team store will be open tonight until 7:00 p.m. and tomorrow from 11:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.

Tomorrow night's game also marks the annual Meijer Teddy Bear Toss, where fans can throw teddy bears onto the ice for charity after the Spirit score their first goal of the evening. Fans can bring their own teddy bear to the game or purchase one for $5 at a special Meijer Teddy Bear Toss booth in TheDow Event Center atrium. The bears collected are being donated to the Covenant HealthCare Pediatrics Ward and the Salvation Army’s Toys for Tots Campaign. The proceeds from the sale of teddy bears is going to support local food banks on behalf of local Meijer stores.
