HELP FIND THE COYOTE BY DONATING TO SILVER & BLACK GIVE BACK DURING THE BIG GIVE S.A.

SAN ANTONIO (May 3, 2016) – The kids of Silver & Black Give Back (SBGB) need your help to find The Coyote. After last night’s game between the San Antonio Spurs and the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Spurs mascot found an open door at the AT&T Center and wandered off. By donating to SBGB throughout the day through The Big Give S.A. and using the hashtag #FindCoyote on social media, fans can help guide The Coyote safely back to his den. Since last night, students from the Team Up Challenge and Spurs Youth Basketball League – two of SBGB’s youth development programs –have been gathering clues but they’re running short on supplies. Donate to Silver & Black Give Back today at TheBigGiveSA.org to help fund their search efforts. Fans can also follow @Silver_BlackCR and @Spurs on Twitter to join in the search. Use the hashtag #FindCoyote to spread the word. The Coyote was last seen leaving the AT&T Center late last night. He was able to get in touch with our student search team but wasn’t able to describe his location after construction on I-35 rerouted him into an unknown area. His cell phone signal is spotty and contact has been limited. With Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals coming up on Friday, The Coyote needs to get back home to rest and prepare. Silver & Black Give Back is the nonprofit partner of Spurs Sports & Entertainment.
