MORAVIAN TO PARTICPATE IN NCAA FOOTBALL TAKE A KID TO THE GAME PROGRAM ON NOVEMBER 1ST

BETHLEHEM, PA --– Moravian College invites all area children to attend their upcoming football game, Saturday, November 1st, against Ursinus College.  Children have the opportunity to experience a college football game as the Greyhounds hosts NCAA Football’s eleventh annual “Take A Kid to the Game” (TAKG) program.  Kids, ages fourteen and younger, will receive a free ticket with the purchase of a full-priced adult ticket, to watch the Greyhounds at Rocco Calvo Field. 

Moravian is one of more than 200 schools across the nation that hosting a game in this campaign focused on allowing youth the opportunity to attend college football games.  The Take A Kid to the Game program is entering into its thirteenth year in the promotion of collegiate athletics.

“We encourage you to save the date.  Moravian is excited about this event where kids from the community will have a chance to be apart of our game day experience and support NCAA Football’s Take A Kid to the Game program,” Paul Moyer athletic director at Moravian said.  “This game day experience is an opportunity for children to spend quality time with a parent or role model and learn about sportsmanship that can be demonstrated on the playing field.”

Moravian’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee has games and activities planned for the afternoon including a quarterback challenge and kicking contest.  There will also be face painting, coloring and a chance to meet the Greyhound mascot.

The Take A Kid to the Game program is one of the national promotions of NCAA Football, the marketing arm of college football.  NCAA Football represents a coalition of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics and the Conference Commissioners Association.  Please visit the official website, www.ncaafootball.com, for further information on current initiatives and to explore the newly updated interactive website that is the premier location to get all inclusive college football information with up-to-date scores, stats, audio and video streaming and unique content form every division.
