Grizzlies to host Hoops for Hearing April 12
Memphis, March 24, 2008 – The Memphis Grizzlies will be partnering with the Memphis Oral School for the Deaf to host Hoops for Hearing at the team’s final regular season game, April 12 against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Fans purchasing tickets for Hoops for Hearing will have the opportunity to sample food from some of Memphis’ finest restaurants, beer from local and international breweries, and wine from around the world beginning at 5 p.m. prior to the game against Minnesota. In addition, fans will watch the Grizzlies take on the Timberwolves from the First Tennessee Club Level.
Proceeds will benefit the Memphis Oral School for the Deaf, a nonprofit, nationally recognized program that has been serving deaf and hearing-impaired children in Memphis and the Mid-South since 1959. The mission of Memphis Oral School for the Deaf is to empower deaf children to listen, learn and talk. The objective is the integration of their children, with the necessary self-confidence and positive image, into their neighborhood schools. Their goal is to enable their students to become a part of, rather than apart from, the world of sound.
Tickets for the Hoops for Hearing are $75 each, a savings of over 50 percent off the regular price of a seat in the First Tennessee Club section. Tickets can be purchased by calling (901) 888-HOOP or by using this registration form (PDF).
