NEW MEXICO UNITED PARTNERS WITH NEW MEXICO GAS COMPANY FOR FINAL TICKET DONATION EVENT OF THE SEASON
New Mexico Gas Company Donates Tickets To Hundreds Of Deserving Community Members
ALBUQUERQUE, NM (October 16, 2019) – New Mexico United’s first season has taken the New Mexico community by storm, with their mission of uniting the entire state. An important aspect of this mission is to make matches accessible to everyone, regardless of any barriers. An entire section known as ‘Community Corner’ is set aside at every United match, wherein all seats are given for free to local non-profits and public servants, including first responders, veterans, children and other similar causes.
“New Mexico United is for our entire state and NM Gas Company has ensured that everyone can attend a game, even if their current financial situation makes it prohibitive,” said majority owner and CEO, Peter Trevisani. “This is what it looks like when a community comes together and supports each other. It’s powerful and unstoppable.”
Community Corner is made possible through partnerships, and the NM Gas Company stepped up earlier this year to sponsor 5 games throughout the season, resulting in a total number of 950 tickets being given to primarily youth-focused non-profit organizations. The final 255 of which will be distributed on Friday, October 18 for the final game of the New Mexico United regular season on October 19 vs. Las Vegas Lights.
“The idea behind this partnership with New Mexico United was to offer a great sporting experience to youth and adults throughout Albuquerque. This fits well in our effort to engage with our community,” said Tom Domme, Vice President of External Affairs and General Counsel. “We are delighted to be a part of the United movement, by sponsoring and donating more than 900 tickets to nonprofits and the people they serve. Somos Unidos.”
Members of the media are invited to a ticket giveaway on Friday, October 18th, at 3:30 pm at Mesa Verde Community Center, 7900 Marquette Avenue NE, Albuquerque New Mexico 87108. Representatives from New Mexico Gas Company will be in attendance, as well as players and staff from New Mexico United, to hand-deliver tickets to the children at the center.
