BIG NEWS for Big Brothers and Big Sisters who are interested in getting free tickets for match outings:
Many of our Big and Little matches have enjoyed taking advantage of our free ticket offers, and thankfully, San Diego donors are some of the most generous ticket-givers in the country! But distributing tickets, especially during a time when gas prices are high, has been a challenge. To that end, we have devised a new way to request and distribute tickets.
