RazorGator Takes Boys & Girls Club Members to the Stand for Early Gridiron Action
RazorGator Donates Pre-Season NFL Tickets to Boys & Girls Clubs Nationwide

Los Angeles – Aug. 5, 2008 – Local youth from several Boys & Girls Clubs are among the first fans to see NFL teams hit the gridiron for pre-season openers, thanks to generous donations from RazorGator in collaboration with Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA).

As the professional football season kicks off this month, local Boys & Girls Club members in 14 cities across the U.S. including San Diego, Phoenix, Dallas, Indianapolis and Atlanta, will have an opportunity to experience the tackles, touchdowns and fun up close and personal with their favorite NFL players, some of whom are former Club members themselves!

“RazorGator couldn’t be more thrilled to extend NFL tickets to Boys & Girls Club members,” states Jeff Lapin, RazorGator CEO. “As a long-time personal advocate, it is an honor to be able to contribute to this program.”

“A large number of our members play flag-football at the Club and engage in various sports activities in school. We are thrilled about seeing the NFL in action, and with the generosity of RazorGator for making this experience happen for our youth,” said Frank Sanchez, BGCA's vice president of Corporate & Partner Relationships.
