CT Sun Basketball Hosts Game for Heart Disease & Stroke Survivors

August 17 WNBA Game at Mohegan Sun Arena to benefit American Heart Association

Heart Disease and Stroke Survivors are invited to hold the American Flag during the National Anthem at Opening Exercises of the Connecticut Sun Basketball Game at the Mohegan Sun Arena on Friday, August 17 at 6:30 PM and stay to watch the WNBA Connecticut Sun play at 7 PM. Each survivor will be given two free tickets… one for them and one for a caregiver, family or friend. Additional tickets can be purchased. Plus each Survivor will be given two passes to the Seasons Buffet at Mohegan Sun for use that night or another time. This game is a special benefit for the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association.

Connecticut Sun uses this game to help raise funds for the www.EasternCTHeartWalk.org and to bring awareness to the issue of heart disease and stroke prevention. For every ticket sold for $20 using the link https://fevo.me/ctsunaha, $4 is donated to the Heart Walk. Plus, the first 30 people who purchase tickets with this link will get an access to an autograph session with select players after the game.
