Light Up BSU Offers Access to Exclusive Sporting Opportunities and Raises Funds for Foundations Dedicated to Advancing the Next Generation

BRIDGEWATER– Former Patriot and 3x Super Bowl Champion Matt Light’s foundation, The Light
Foundation, is expanding its relationship with Bridgewater State University by
raising funds through its Lighthouse Raffles for exclusive sporting events in
Boston during the month of April.

Light Up BSU, a fundraising initiative organized by the Light Foundation, is running
through the month of March.

The drive will benefit the Light Foundation, its annual Leadership Conference for
youth in the region that’s held at BSU, and the BSU Foundation, which provides
donations for a number of impactful student support initiatives such as
scholarships, paid internships, undergraduate research and study abroad.

The Light Foundation provides unique outdoor learning experiences to assist youth
with reaching their highest potential by leading young people down a path
toward becoming responsible members of their communities.

“We are excited to be partnered with BSU once again and we look forward to our
Leadership Conference in 2018,” said the retired offensive tackle, who played
his entire 11-year career in New England.

“Bridgewater State University has a number of initiatives to address the educational needs
of children in the region’s Gateway Cities, such as the Bridge Program, an
in-residence summer program for rising seventh and eighth graders, so the
partnership with Matt Light and his foundation was a natural for us,” said
President Frederick W. Clark Jr., ’83.

Light Up BSU is putting on the Amazing April raffle to offer high-end
sports tickets that provide four winners with the ultimate Boston sports
experience. The four prizes are:

Two tickets to a first-round Celtics playoff game featuring
seats located 10 rows behind Coach Brad Stevens and access to The Legends Club

Two tickets to the April 10 Red Sox vs. Yankees matchup and access
to the private Wheels Up Clubhouse prior to the game.

Exclusive finish-line passes to the Boston Marathon on April 16.
